American Places: In Search of the Twenty-First Century Campus. ACE/Praeger Series on Higher Education
Chapman, M. Perry
Greenwood Press
"American Places" calls for campuses to be designed with attention to traditional virtues of campus coherence, human scale, and place distinction, not only to heighten the quality of the learning experience, but also as working demonstrations of ways in which places everywhere can be transformed into more healthy, humane, civic environments. This book is organized into the following parts: (1) A Brief History of the American Campus; (2) The Seismic Forces Affecting the Shape of the Twenty-first-century Campus; and (3) The Sustainable, Authentic Campus. An epilogue and an index are also included. [Foreword by Richard Freeland.]
