Description: "Landscape and Images records a lifetime spent observing America's constructed landscapes. John Stilgoe's essays follow the eclectic trains of thought that have resulted from his observation, from the postcard preference for sunsets over sunrises to the concept of "teen geography" to the unwillingness of Americans to walk up and down stairs."--Jacket.
