Review
"Designed to correct urban writers misleading impressions of rural America and to inform rural policymakers, the study is replete with statistics, analyses, and useful suggestions for rural planners."Journal of the West
"The breadth of this book's coverage is impressive and the quality of the individual chapters is high."Journal of Regional Science
"This collection of 25 essays, organized in seven parts, provides an admirable survey of the most important issues that will enhance general understanding of rural problems and aid the formulation of public policy for the countryside."Western Historical Quarterly
"Scholars of rural America will welcome The Changing American Countryside with open arms."Annals of Iowa
"Very few studies address the whole of rural America in the comprehensive manner of this volume. A valuable and significant endeavor."Dwight Billings, author of Planters and the Makers of a New South
"An outstanding volume on rural affairs. If the Country Life Commission had been formed 90 years later, in 1998, its members might have used this book for their manual. Like the walls of a one-room schoolhouse, the covers of this book enclose or touch everything you need to know about rural America."Gene Wunderlich, USDA Economic Research Service
