"For more than thirty years, aerial photographer Alex MacLean has portrayed the history and evolution of the American land, from great desert spaces to agricultural patters to city grids. A trained architect who is closely involved in landscape heritage and protection issues, MacLean's pictures record the universal history of town and countryside, and raise the issue of the landscape's future."
"Here he turns his camera on the colorful, exhilarating world of America at play. From the beauty of perfectly symmetric sports stadiums to the spaghetti-like tangles of theme parks to sunbathers on a stretch of splendid beach, he illuminates how we inhabit the land and the potential for modern planning to create spectacular environments. Susan Yelavich contributes an introduction."--Jacket.
