An interpretive-analytical methodology is used in this single-authored, multidisciplinary work which draws on insights from history, American Studies, social sciences, urban studies, and environmental studies, and cultural studies in order to portray lifestyle and settlement phenomena overlooked by single disciplinary fields.
The focus of this book is on the lifestyles and landscape patterns created by settlers in the countryside around America''s largest cities. An hour''s commute away from busy workdays Americans have created vibrant countryside wonderlands: more through the ideas of how country life should be than how heartland rural life oftentimes has been. In these places exotic animals graze while unfamiliar crops are nurtured by the willing soil. Leisure and pleasure meet, providing sanctuaries from cities and suburbs.
