In America, in contrast to almost anywhere else in the world, the good life means traveling a long distance to get to work. How and why this came to be the cultural norm is the subject of Crabgrass Frontier . Awarded both the Bancroft Award and the Francis Parkman Prize, Professor Jackson's book is the first to trace the growth of the suburbs from their origins in the 1820s--in Brooklyn Heights opposite Manhattan--until the present day.
