Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in the North Shore suburbs of Chicago, amid traffic, pollution, and ever-increasing neighborhoods of houses and apartments, these meditative personal essays explore the importance of our connection with the natural world, history, and memory. The Suburban Wild follows the seasons from one spring to the next, celebrating the natural miracles we frequently miss and revealing a territory less tamed than we might imagine. These essays offer the sights and sounds found on the outskirts of cities, just perceptible amid the clutter and din of crowded streets and sidewalks. From the constant humming of cicadas on summer evenings and the seasonal migrations of ducks to the myriad hues in a green heron's feathers, Peter Friederici reveals a complex place in which wild geese and morning commuters share the same habitat. The essays honor our lost creatures and places, emphasizing the importance of history, memory, and consciousness. The author describes the varying shades and textures of a clay bluff near his childhood home, relating the gradual erosion and recession of this Ice Age-old landform. A description of spirogyra algae blooms on Lake Michigan merges with a discussion of the lake's once abundant native mussels and the imported zebra mussels that are threatening their existence. From recorded memories, Friederici re-creates the sight of the now extinct passenger pigeon. Though awareness of the destruction of the landscape and its creatures is never far from the wonders presented here, The Suburban Wild connects the tracks of wildlife and traces of our changing landscape with our own path through the world. The book explores how history--whether natural or cultural, collective or personal--shapes a landscape, and how human memory shapes that history. At heart, it seeks to forge a link between the world outside our windows and the one inside.

Book excerpt: The energy, commerce, and excitement generated by New York City are unparalleled anywhere else in the world. The suburbs that surround the city are home to many of the movers and shakers that make Manhattan sparkle.

This collection of photographs from thirty-four of the most exceptional and unique small towns around New York includes beautifully designed homes - many belonging to celebrities - and pristine landscapes that make them vastly popular tourist destinations. The Old Westbury Gardens estate, the gorgeous beaches and rolling hills of neighborhoods on Long Island Sound, and the historical architecture of Southport, are just a few reasons to visit this unique region yourself. Three states and five million people are represented in this deeply reflective work.

Book excerpt: From Center for Fiction First Novel Prize finalist Bethany Ball comes a biting and darkly funny new novel that follows a set of privileged, jaded Connecticut suburbanites whose cozy, seemingly picture-perfect, lives begin to unravel amid shocking turns of fate and revelations of long-held secrets. Welcome to small-town Connecticut, a place whose inhabitants seem to have it all — the status, the homes, the money, and the ennui. There’s Tripp and Virginia, beloved hosts whom the community idolizes, whose basement hides among other things a secret stash of guns and a drastic plan to survive the end times. There’s Gunter and Rachel, recent transplants who left New York City to raise their children, only to feel both imprisoned by the banality of suburbia. And Richard and Margot, community veterans whose extramarital affairs and battles with mental health are disguised by their enviably polished veneers and perfect children. At the center of it all is the Petra School, the most coveted of all the private schools in the state, a supposed utopia of mindfulness and creativity, with a history as murky and suspect as our character’s inner worlds. With deep wit and delicious incisiveness, in The Pessimists, Bethany Ball peels back the veneer of upper-class white suburbia to expose the destructive consequences of unchecked privilege and moral apathy in a world that is rapidly evolving without them. This is a superbly drawn portrait of a community, and its couples, torn apart by unmet desires, duplicity, hypocrisy, and dangerous levels of discontent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Suburbanite, 1909: A Monthly Magazine for Those Who Are and Those Who Ought to in Interested in Suburban Homes With the donning of a new dress, and all that goes with it, the purpose of The Suburbanite gains a decided impetus. That purpose - the promotion of suburban life and the interests of suburbanites - needs no introduction to the many who have followed the pages of the magazine from month to month. That purpose will remain unchanged - from title-page to tailpiece it will continue to dominate the contents. The only difference between the old order of things and the new will be increased opportunities for the achievement of that purpose. With the advent of the new series, which the March number opens, a special feature of each issue will be department treatment of the various matters of paramount interest to the great family of suburbanites. There is nothing which more vitally concerns the suburbanite, both present and prospective, than the home which he and his occupy. Under the Suburban Architecture and Construction Department that subject will receive painstaking attention. A special article will be devoted to some particular feature of this engrossing theme, while kindred topics will be separately touched upon. Another subject which means much to the average suburbanite is his garden. Many a suburbanite would feel as lost without his or her little patch of self-raised flowers and vegetables as a skipper without a compass. In many cases he has moved from the crowded metropolis to the suburbs because he wanted to work a garden and he couldn't do it in the city any more than he can do it in his suburban parlor. In the department on Suburban Gardens he will find a wealth of interesting matter, all of which will be led by an article on some particularly timely theme apropos of the general subject. Then there is the department dedicated to the Suburban Household, and the interests of the suburban housewife. Its caption tells its purpose, a purpose that appeals to the women who help so mightily to make any home all that the term implies. But this is merely an outline of what is to come. Besides the establishment from time to time of other departments, such as Suburban Home Furnishings and Decorations, Suburban Photography, Suburban Poultry Raising, Suburban Sports and others, original, attractively written articles of a more general nature bearing on all that has to do with suburban life and interests and splendidly illustrated, will appear in the forthcoming issues of The Suburbanite. Just a word as to the April issue: It will be a Bungalow number. This is a subject that fits the suburbs more closely than any other class of home building - indeed, where else but in the suburbs, or the more remote rural sections, would one think of building a bungalow, or putting up one of the handy, handsome, portable kind? In all its aspects the subject will be thoroughly covered by no less competent authorities than architects who have made a specialty of this attractive form of house. Superb illustrations in themselves will tell the story eloquently. While bungalows will be the piece de resistance, a generous share of space will be accorded the suburban garden. There are lots of things for especial consideration in April, among them "Getting the Garden Under Way," after hotbeds and cold frames have served as first aids; also Arbor Day and all that it signifies. A particularly pleasing feature will be "Cupid - Commuter," a pretty romance by the author of " Philip Carey - Coward, published in the January Suburbanite. And don't forget the departments.

Download or read book The Suburb Reader written by Becky Nicolaides and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1920s, the United States has seen a dramatic reversal in living patterns, with a majority of Americans now residing in suburbs. This mass emigration from cities is one of the most fundamental social and geographical transformations in recent US history. Suburbanization has not only produced a distinct physical environment—it has become a major defining force in the construction of twentieth-century American culture. Employing over 200 primary sources, illustrations, and critical essays, The Suburb Reader documents the rise of North American suburbanization from the 1700s through the present day. Through thematically organized chapters it explores multiple facets of suburbia’s creation and addresses its indelible impact on the shaping of gender and family ideologies, politics, race relations, technology, design, and public policy. Becky Nicolaides’ and Andrew Wiese’s concise commentaries introduce the selections and contextualize the major themes of each chapter. Distinctive in its integration of multiple perspectives on the evolution of the suburban landscape, The Suburb Reader pays particular attention to the long, complex experiences of African Americans, immigrants, and working people in suburbia. Encompassing an impressive breadth of chronology and themes, The Suburb Reader is a landmark collection of the best works on the rise of this modern social phenomenon.
