Often defined by the familiar images of taciturn Yankees, town meetings, maple syrup and rocky seacoasts, New England is both a distinctively American place and a distinctive place within America. Yet these images present only one aspect of the richly varied region that is New England in the twenty-first century. Today traditional scenes of white-clapboard buildings surrounding an idyllic village green, hillside farms and red-brick mills rub shoulders with advanced research centres, nuclear power plants and urban neighbourhoods of immigrants from around the globe. In entries written by leading authorities in the field, The Encyclopedia of New England presents a comprehensive view of this important region, past and present. Both authoritative and entertaining, this single-volume reference will be an invaluable resource for the scholar and an irresistible page-turner for the browser. Формат: 22,5 см x 28,5 см.
