"In Native to Nowhere, renowned author Tim Beatley draws on extensive research and travel to communities across North America and Europe to offer a practical examination of the concepts of place and place-building in contemporary life. He reviews the many current challenges to place, considers trends and factors that have undermined our sense of place, and describes a number of innovative ideas and compelling visions for strengthening our places."--Jacket.
