Our towns : a 100,000-mile journey into the heart of America / James Fallows, Deborah Fallows.

Fallows, James M., (author.). Fallows, Deborah, (author.).

Summary:

"For the last five years, James and Deborah Fallows have been traveling across America in a single-engine prop airplane. Visiting dozens of towns, they have met hundreds of civic leaders, workers, immigrants, educators, environmentalists, artists, public servants, librarians, business people, city planners, students, and entrepreneurs to take the pulse and understand the prospects of places that usually draw notice only after a disaster or during a political campaign. Our Towns is the story of their journey--and an account of a country busy remaking itself."--Back cover.
