Asphalt Nation:
How the Automobile Took Over America and How We Can Take It Back

by Jane Holtz Kay

A searing indictment of the automobile, this book implicates it in many of our environmental and social problems. It explains that automobiles have been the primary agents of change in our built environment-from the dissecting of inner-city neighborhoods to the sprawling suburban subdivisions that define America's post-World War II housing industry. It also looks into some of the more promising solutions.
