Landscape And Images

Attribution
John R. StilgoePublication Details
BookUniversity of Virginia Press2005Links
Description
John Stilgoe is just looking around. Stilgoe’s essays follow the eclectic trains of thought that have resulted from his observation, from the postcard preference for sunsets over sunrises to the concept of “teen geography” to the unwillingness of Americans to walk up and down stairs. Stilgoe ponders the forgotten connections between politics and painted landscapes and asks why a country whose vast majority lives less than a hundred miles from a coast nonetheless looks to the rural Midwest for the classic image of itself.

America From The Air : An Aviator’s Story

Attribution
Wolfgang Langewiesche ; edited and introduced by Drake Hokanson and Carol Kratz ; with a foreword by William LangewieschePublication Details
BookJohns Hopkins University Press2004Links
Description
With the same passion America had taken to the road a decade earlier, Langewiesche took to the air. America from the Air draws from Langewiesche’s classic account of his early experiences as a pilot, I’ll Take the High Road (first published in 1939 and praised by the New York Times as “a stirring and revealing story, told with sensitiveness and lucidity and with the warmth of a modest personal charm”), and selections from his 1951 memoir, A Flier’s World, to create a distinctive book that provides a pioneering look at the American landscape as seen from the cockpit of a light plane. In a new foreword, Langewiesche’s son, writer William Langewiesche, describes his father’s love of the view from above. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Availability
