A colorful array of aerial photographs explores the wonderful world of American leisure, capturing the unique features of sports stadiums, theme parks, beaches, and other fun-filled entertainment venues.

A Harvard-trained architect-turned-photographer-pilot, Alex MacLean has spent his entire career - almost thirty years - in tiny planes and the occasional helicopter, gazing down. His camera captures polluted rivers, pristine forests, the ribbony patterns of plowed wheat fields, burned-out urban row houses - the gamut of the American landscape. His previous book Designs on the Land was published by Thames & Hudson in 2003. Susan Yelavich is an authority on architecture and design. Her books include Inside Design Now, Design for Life and The Edge of the Millennium.
