Title: Landscapes of betrayal, landscapes of joy
Description: "Landscapes of Betrayal, Landscapes of Joy provides a rare glimpse into the world of teenagers, from beach parties to bedrooms, from the math class to the midnight movies. In this ethnography, Herb Childress demonstrates how our buildings and landscapes (and the institutions that shape them) systematically shortchange our kids, eliminating opportunities for challenge and growth and encouraging their passivity.

After examining the places to which the kids were devoted, where they worked hardest, and where they were at their best, Childress offers ideas for change."--BOOK JACKET.
