Peirce F. Lewis, former President of the Association of American Geographers and Professor of Geography Emeritus at the Pennsylvania State University, has published widely on the American landscape.
Peirce Lewis's long overdue second edition is just as pleasurable
to read as the original. It exposes the flaws of an inhospitable
site, the richness of the local architecture, and the complexities
of the city's social geography with a flair and clarity we should
all aspire to.--Craig E. Colten, Louisiana State University
Peirce Lewis's original New Orleans earned iconic status in
georaphical writing on the American city. The appearance of a
thoroughly reworked new edition is a devoutly welcome
event.--Michael P. Conzen, University of Chicago
