Product Description:

Through close encounters with hundreds of unsung landmarks – from show caves and shoelace factories to open-pit mines and nuclear test sites – the Center for Land Use Interpretation explores how America’s lands have been parcelled out, put to use and understood. This book takes readers on a tour through the strangely unfamiliar land that Americans live in, demonstrating that the country can be understood by examining the clues on display everywhere, often clearly visible but often ignored.
