Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"The always eloquent Mansfield (Summer over Autumn, 2017) conducts an evocative foray into the history of American property rights in this slim but enormously prescient title. ... the scalpellike precision with which Mansfield homes in on the relationship between Americans and the land that proves most perceptive. He accepts all the complexities of his chosen subject yet is gifted with an unerring eye for the true heart of the matter. Who decides the best use of property? Who truly owns it? Powerful insights live on these pages, and Mansfield's observations matter now more than ever."--Colleen Mondor "Booklist (starred)"

Reseña del editor:

While reporting on citizens fighting natural gas pipelines and transmission lines planned to cut right across their homes, Howard Mansfield saw the emotional toll of these projects. “They got under the skin,” writes Mansfield. “This was about more than kilowatts, powerlines, and pipelines. Something in this upheaval felt familiar. I began to realize that I was witnessing an essential American experience: the world turned upside down. And it all turned on one word: property.”
