A Field Guide to Sprawl
Dolores Hayden

From Alligator to Zoomburb, this book defines the vocabulary of sprawl. Examples of fifty one descriptive terms coined by real estate developers and land-use analysts, such as "litter on a stick" (billboards), "snout houses" (houses with protruding garages) and "TOAD" (temporary, obsolete, abandoned, derelict site) are illustrated by Jim Wark's stunning aerial photographs.
