Deindustrialization is not simply an economic process; it is also a social and cultural phenomenon. The rusting detritus of our industrial past — the wrecked halls of factories, abandoned machinery too large to remove, and now useless infrastructures — has for decades been a part of the North American landscape. Through a unique blend of oral history, photographs, and interpretive essays, [this book] investigates this fascinating terrain and the phenomenon of its loss and rediscovery. --Publisher's description.
