Note: I have focused on substantive historical accounts related to the shaping of the American landscape since World War II. To facilitate use, listings are divided into several subject categories: Building Types, Houses and Housing, Architects, Landscape Architecture, Architecture and Places, and Planning-Urbanism. A final Miscellaneous category covers material not readily placed in any of the previous ones. Most listings are scholarly in nature, but I have also included some popular accounts that are particularly rich in the historical material presented. I have also included a separate section for Historic Preservation that focuses on intellectual and related issues concerning the protection of the recent past. Any additions or corrections are welcome and will be included in updated editions of this bibliography. Please send them to me at rwl@gwu.edu.
