Description

James and Nancy Duncan look at how the aesthetics of physical landscapes are fully enmeshed in producing the American class system. Focusing on an archetypal upper class American suburb-Bedford in Westchester County, NY-they show how the physical presentation of a place carries with it a range of markers of inclusion and exclusion.

About the Author

James Duncan is a University Lecturer in Geography at Cambridge University, and Nancy Duncan is Affiliated Lecturer of Geography at Cambridge University.



Reviews

"I think that this book will make quite a stir: not just in the suburb under study...but in the wider academic community where its transcendence.will generate much commentary and not a little jealousy." -- John Agnew, author of Geopolitics (Routledge)
No.1, Vol.71; Pg.105
"Studying elites is an interesting subject, and this book makes the most of the topic using critical landscape theory." -- Journal of the American Planning Association-Landscape of Privilege: The Politic of the Aesthetics in an American Suburb
"...the authors support a well-framed, strong central arguement with abundant empirical evidence in a clearly organized format and with engaging, eloquent text. It is worth careful reading and reflection." -- Journal of Cultural Geography, Kelly S, Draper, University of Colorado

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
