Synopsis

In "By Motor to the Golden Gate," Emily Post utilizes her characteristic wit and keen observation to capture the essence of early 20th-century American travel. Written in a lively narrative style, the book chronicles Post's cross-country journey from New York to San Francisco, interweaving reflections on the landscapes, cultures, and social nuances encountered along the way. Set against the backdrop of the burgeoning automobile culture, it serves as both a travelogue and a social commentary, elucidating the evolving nature of leisure, mobility, and American identity during a transformative era. Emily Post, renowned primarily for her influential work on etiquette, drew upon her own life experiences—marked by a passion for travel and social interaction—to pen this evocative account. Her transition from a celebrated social arbiter to a travel writer reflects her multifaceted interests and the changing norms of her time. Through this journey, she emphasizes the importance of decorum and adaptable social behavior, key themes in her later writings on etiquette. For readers seeking an engaging blend of historical insight and personal narrative, "By Motor to the Golden Gate" offers a delightful exploration of America's roads and social landscapes, making it a treasured addition to any literary collection.

    From the eighteenth century to the twenty–first, the surprising history and inspiring contemporary panorama of urban gardening: nurturing health, hope, and community. 
    This manifesto for the next food revolution by acclaimed environmental historian Kate Brown speaks to nature lovers, food activists, social–justice warriors, urban planners, WOOFers, and the climate–concerned. 
    Ever since wage labor in cities replaced self–provisioning in the countryside, gardeners have reclaimed lost commons on urban lots. They composted garbage into topsoil, creating the most productive agriculture in recorded human history, without use of fossil fuels. The ecological diversity they fostered made room for human difference and built prosperity, too: in Nazi Berlin, working–class gardeners harbored dissidents and Jews; in Washington, DC, Black southern migrants built communities around gardens and orchards, the produce funding homeownership. 
    Grafting contemporary experience and concerns onto every historical chapter, Brown creates a mesmerizing hybrid past and present, archive and experience, showing how down–to–earth gardeners can reap abundant harvests while fostering mutual aid and political engagement.
