Reviews

The cogent writing and comprehensive research of the first two sections soar, making this book fundamental to future researchers. CHOICE Hirsch s book has enough distance from its subject and time period that readers may recognize themselves and their own dilemmas in it. Planning Magazine Hirsch s book contributes to a growing body of historical research interested in activism and social engagement in environmental design fields. Planning Perspectives Hirsch has authored a handsome book. . . some of the period photos are delightful, featuring children and adults cavorting in fountains and expressing a collective joy in public gathering.
