This Is True, Christopher Wells Argues, Because The United States Is Car Countrya Nation Dominated By Landscapes That Are Difficult, Inconvenient, And Often Unsafe To Navigate By Those Who Are Not Sitting Behind The Wheel Of A Car.The Prevalence Of Cardependent Landscapes Seems Perfectly Natural To Us Today, But It Is, In Fact, A Relatively New Historical Development. In Car Country, Wells Rejects The Idea That The Nation'S Automotive Status Quo Can Be Explained As A Simple Byproduct Of An Ardent Love Affair With The Automobile. Instead, He Takes Readers On A Tour Of The Evolving American Landscape, Charting The Ways That Transportation Policies And Landuse Practices Have Combined To Reshape Nearly Every Element Of The Built Environment Around The Easy Movement Of Automobiles. Wells Untangles The Complicated Relationships Between Automobiles And The Environment, Allowing Readers To See The Everyday World In A Completely New Way. The Result Is A History That Is Essential For Understanding American Transportation And Landuse Issues Today.
