Kunstler proposes that by reviving civic art and civic life, we will rediscover public virtue and a new vision of the common good. \u003ci\u003e\"The future will require us to build better places,\"\u003c\/i\u003e Kunstler says, \u003ci\u003e\"or the future will belong to other people in other societies.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Free Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780671888251\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.39h x 5.50w x 0.81d","brand":"James Howard Kunstler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36639817236636,"sku":"9780671888251","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_235e99bc-1ff3-4f48-8934-902038de3edf.jpg?v=1603850670","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/geography-of-nowhere-the-rise-and-declineof-americas-man-made-landscape-9780671888251","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
