Reviews

<p> Stroud's survey is one of the most comprehensive undertaken to date, and he skillfully integrates the forces that controlled the rapid expansion of these settlement forms..Succeeds admirably in describing the landscapes produced by the recreational land development industry, interpreting their various local impacts, and discussing regulatory controls that could ameliorate and eventually resole the problems that have arisen. Most of all, this is a classic geographical account of these settlements, infused with perceptive field-based insights, strongly supported by maps and photographs, and always focused on the interactions between these communities and their environmental contexts. -- Progress in Human Geography
