Perhaps America's best environmental idea was not the national park but the garden cemetery, a use of space that quickly gained popularity in the mid-nineteenth century. Such spaces of repose brought key elements of the countryside into rapidly expanding cities, making nature accessible to all and serving to remind visitors of the natural cycles of life. In this unique interdisciplinary blend of historical narrative, cultural criticism, and poignant memoir, Aaron Sachs argues that American cemeteries embody a forgotten landscape tradition that has much to teach us in our current moment of environmental crisis. Until the trauma of the Civil War, many Americans sought to shape society into what they thought of as an Arcadia--not an Eden where fruit simply fell off the tree, but a public garden that depended on an ethic of communal care, and whose sense of beauty and repose related directly to an acknowledgement of mortality and limitation. Sachs explores the notion of Arcadia in the works of nineteenth-century nature writers, novelists, painters, horticulturists, landscape architects, and city planners, and holds up for comparison the twenty-first century's--and his own--tendency toward denial of both death and environmental limits. His far-reaching insights suggest new possibilities for the environmental movement today and new ways of understanding American history.

A San Francisco, on alterne les montées et les descentes pour finalement buter contre un mur qui barre la rue. Là il faut abandonner la machine pour retrouver le pas. Seuls des escaliers permettent de suivre la pente et raccorder deux tronçons de la même rue. Tout au long de ce trajet on enchaîne une vue de la rue montant vers le ciel dans un cadre de tours d'appartements, un panoramique de la ville dans son site, une descente vertigineuse entre des maisons en bois, une autre montée vers le ciel encadrée de maisonnettes décorées, puis un plan rapproché de jardins exubérants sur lesquels s'ouvrent des entrées privées avant de fi sur une vue saisissante de la baie et de l'Oakland Bay Bridge. A chaque sommet, la baie apparaît et souligne les limites du territoire. De colline en colline la cité se regarde dans un incessant jeu de miroir. Dans un paysage grandiose où ponts et autoroutes marient la mer et la terre et où chaque colline est un quartier, Nature et Architecture s'entremêlent pour composer une ville tour à tour triomphante, modeste et familière. Comme la plupart des villes américaines, San Francisco s'est développée suivant un système de grille orthogonale. Son site présentait pourtant une topographie mouvementée ne comptant pas moins de quarante-deux collines. La grille habituellement utilisée en terrain plat rencontre ici une nature rebelle et insoumise. Il en résulte un phénomène peu commun : les rues rectilignes jouent aux montagnes russes car ici l'outil du colonisateur et les reliefs sont entrés en guerre au mépris d'une rationalité évidente. Pourquoi la ville ne s'est-elle pas adaptée à son site comme le laissait prévoir le bon sens usuel ?

The revised and updated third edition of The Making of Urban America includes seven new articles and a richly detailed historiographical essay that discusses the vast urban history literature added to the canon since the publication of the second edition. The authors’ extensively revised introductions and the fifteen reprinted articles trace urban development from the preindustrial city to the twentieth-century city. With emphasis on the social, economic, political, commercial, and cultural aspects of urban history, these essays illustrate the growth and change that created modern-day urban life. Dynamic topics such as technology, immigration and ethnicity, suburbanization, sunbelt cities, urban political history, and planning and housing are examined. The Making of Urban America is the only reader available that covers all of U.S. urban history and that also includes the most recent interpretive scholarship on the subject.
