This illustrated guide gives readers a nomenclature for their surroundings. An insightful introductory section recounts the history of sprawl and the process of creating a vocabulary of sprawl, which has come to include such words as "zoomburb," "privatopia," and "pig-in-a-python." The second section uses aerial photographs from throughout the U.S. to accompany text that identifies and describes in detail the land use practices, physical elements, and social repercussions of sprawl.
