Summary: "Photographs and descriptions of America's crumbling and destructive infrastructure - roads, bridges, airports, etc. - contrasted with proposals for new, long-lasting public structures that will far less harm to the land." Malcolm Wells: "In 1964, after 10 years spent spreading corporate asphalt on America in the name of architecture, I woke up one day to the fact that the earth's surface was made for living plants, not industrial plants. I've been an underground architect ever since! I'm 67. I live on Cape Cod. This is my 16th book."
