Views landscaping as an expression of a way of life. The subject matter ranges from disquisitions on ordinary houses, yards, farms, and farmsteads to notes on ecology and from the impact of automobile use, mobile homes, shopping centres, and rural and urban planning to philosophical arguments about the meaning of human space.

This work takes readers on a tour of American landscapes past and present, showing how surroundings reflect important changes in culture. The book examines the new vernacular landscape of trailers, parking lots, roads and shopping malls.
