Excerpt from Journal of Social Science, 1871, Vol. 3
The last Overland Monthly tells us that in California only an inferior class of people can be induced to live out of towns. There is something in the country which repels men. In the city alone can they nourish the juices of life.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the 1870s trend of people abandoning rural living in favor of urban life, analyzing the social, health, and environmental effects of the shift on the individual and society as a whole. The author traces the history of town expansion and the simultaneous decrease in agrarian populations, referencing contemporary trends in Britain and Europe as well as the United States. The book explores the effects on health of the shift towards dense urban environments, particularly relating to problems stemming from air pollution and other consequences of urban crowding. It also discusses the tendency of urban residents to spend more time and money on entertainment and leisure activities than rural residents do, and how this trend towards commercial recreation impacts culture and civil society. The author's insights underscore the importance of urban planning and thoughtful town design for the health and happiness of society in light of the rapid urbanization of the era.
