Pages : 432
Book Description
NATIONAL BEST SELLER • The basis for the HBO documentary now streaming on HBO Max For five years, James and Deborah Fallows have travelled across America in a single-engine prop airplane. Visiting dozens of towns, the America they saw is acutely conscious of its problems—from economic dislocation to the opioid scourge—but it is also crafting solutions, with a practical-minded determination at dramatic odds with the bitter paralysis of national politics. At times of dysfunction on a national level, reform possibilities have often arisen from the local level. The Fallowses describe America in the middle of one of these creative waves. Their view of the country is as complex and contradictory as America itself, but it also reflects the energy, the generosity and compassion, the dreams, and the determination of many who are in the midst of making things better. Our Towns is the story of their journey—and an account of a country busy remaking itself.

California the Wonderful
Author: Edwin MarkhamPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : California
Languages : en
Pages : 494
Book Description
"No writer of today knows his California more thoroughly or to better purpose than does Edwin Markham, the poet. Although a native of Oregon, Mr. Markham went to California with his parents as a five-year-old boy and literally grew up with the State. It was his fortune to know personally many leaders in the formative period of the Pacific Coast, and his interest in the development of the community has not lessened with the advancing years. Of the various books concerning the Coast that have been published during the current season, Mr. Markham's "California the Wonderful" is the most comprehensive and attractive, treating as it does, not only of the romantic history of the State, the picturesque features of her people, the scenic glories of her mountains, and other aspects of the subject that would naturally appeal to a man of Mr. Markham's temperament and vision, but also of the more prosaic side of the State's development--her mineral and horticultural resources, the growth of her great cities, and other phases of her political and economic history."--Review of Reviews, Vol. 52.
