{"product_id":"visions-of-suburbia-roger-silverstone-9780415107167","title":"Visions of Suburbia","description":"Suburbia. Tupperware, television, bungalows and respectable front lawns. Always instantly recognisable though never entirely familiar. The tight semi-detached estates of thirties Britain and the infenced and functional tract housing of middle America. The elegant villas of Victorian London and the clapboard and brick of fifties Sydney. Architecture and landscapes may vary from one suburban scene to another, but the suburb is the embodiment of the same desire; to create for middle class middle cultures, middle spaces in middle America, Britain and Australia.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eVisions of Suburbia\u003c\/em\u003e considers this emergent architectural space, this set of values and this way of life. The contributors address suburbia and the suburban from the point of view of its production, its consumption and its representation. Placing suburbia centre stage, each essay examines what it is that makes suburbia so distinctive and what it is that has made suburbia so central to contemporary culture. _\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Silverstone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415107164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415107167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/05\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.46h x 6.34w x 1.02d","brand":"Roger Silverstone","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48621715783935,"sku":"9780415107167","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/visions-of-suburbia-roger-silverstone-9780415107167","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
