James H. Kunstler

Kunstler abandoned a career as a reporter for Rolling Stone magazine to pursue writing full-time. He wrote The Geography of Nowhere because he believed many people shared his feelings about the tragic landscape of highway strips, parking lots, housing tracts, mega-malls, junked cities and ravaged countryside that make up the everyday environment where most Americans live and work. His sequel, Home from Nowhere, is a continuation of that discussion with an emphasis on remedies. Although he has no formal training in architecture or urban planning, Kunstler has lectured at Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, MIT, the University of Virginia and for professional organizations such as the American Institute of Architects, the American Planning Association and the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
