The Geography of Nowhere: The Rise and Decline of America's Man-Made Landscape
by James Howard Kunstler
Contoversial well written but not from within the field analysis of the problems of modern automobile driven suburban planning.
And from John Montague Massengale....
"I was interested to see that you include my friend Jim Kunstler's book The Geography of Nowhere in your booklist. You might also like Kunstler's Home From Nowhere (see http://www.kunstler.com/books.html) and Suburban Nation, by Andres Duany, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk and Jeff Speck (http://www.dpz.com"
Then there's New York 1900, New York Architecture and Urbanism 1890 - 1915 (http://www.massengale.com/pages/bookstop.htm), the book John wrote with Robert A.M. Stern.
