Redux: A comparative political ecology of exurbia photo album

Abstract

This chapter is an album of images to illustrate the sometimes quite disparate geographies the term "exurbia" is enlisted to describe. Ideally, every reader would be able to visit all of the places discussed throughout the book. We think that only through an in-person visit can landscape observers fully appreciate the scale of the view, the color of the light and sky, and the sounds and smells unique to each place. As a poor substitute, we have gathered here in an album a Bing map for each chapter and photographs of "typical" exurban homes chosen by authors to be evocative of the places they discuss and to illustrate the diversity of exurban landscapes.
