In his landmark book The Geography of Nowhere James Howard Kunstler visited the "tragic sprawlscape of cartoon architecture, junked cities, and ravaged countryside" America had become and declared that the deteriorating environment was not merely a symptom of a troubled culture, but one of the primary causes of our discontent. In Home from Nowhere Kunstler not only shows that the original American Dream -- the desire for peaceful, pleasant places in which to work and live -- still has a strong hold on our imaginations, but also offers innovative, eminently practical ways to make that dream a reality. Citing examples from around the country, he calls for the restoration of traditional architecture, the introduction of enduring design principles in urban planning, and the development of public spaces that acknowledge our need to interact comfortable with one another.

Kunstler is a self-described 'shapely' writer and this book is an extremely readable page-turner about a distressing subject that keeps getting worse - the hideous urban/suburban environment that we labor under here in Freedom's Land. JHK is obviously seriously infatuated with Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk (or the precious Lizz) as her name appears about 5,000 times. Question is, with all these incredible geniuses running about, why does our country continue to look like a devastated wasteland?
