Recenzii
Implicit throughout the book are lessons applicable to all localities where imagined, if not actual, rural landscapes appear threatened by urbanization. Chapter by chapter, Walbert carefully relates Lancaster County trends to trends nationwide. Thus the book resonates with nationwide implication. I especially recommend it to readers concerned with urban sprawl in America and its economic and social impact.
As the author effectively demonstrates, Lancaster County provides a useful "window" into America's fascination both with traditional rurality and modern development.
Students of Amish history will find this book a valuable addition to their libraries.
Garden Spot is a very well written book and fills a vital niche in Amish literature by examining the crisis of encroaching urbanism in rural America.
... does a remarkable job of analyzing Lancaster County's modern dilemma.
There is grist for both the scholar and interested layperson ... a wonderful addition to the literature on Amish and Mennonites.
