The Unfinished Metropolis

Igniting the City-Building Revolution

Island Press

In The Unfinished Metropolis, Benjamin Schneider explores why America’s favorite things to build—freeways, single-family homes, malls, and downtown office towers—are keeping us stuck in the past. We deserve cities where housing is abundant, public transit is fast and seamless, and streets are for more than car storage. To accomplish this, we need to free ourselves from these outdated forms so we can experiment with new types of housing, new uses for streets, and new purposes for downtowns. We need to embrace the art of city-building. Talking to urban designers, planners, and community advocates, Schneider takes readers on an insightful and entertaining tour of how we can make our cities work better for us today and into the future.

The Twilight Forest

An Elegy for Ponderosa in a Changing West

Island Press

Ponderosa pine has long been a charismatic icon of the American West—yet a quiet unraveling has begun. In the past decade, in a vast area from Santa Fe to the Sierras, more than two hundred million ponderosa have died. While some will survive in cooler places, scientists estimate that by mid-century, less than five percent of the ponderosa in the American Southwest may remain. As the very character of this vast region shifts, what will be left behind? In The Twilight Forest, Gary Ferguson brings readers on an expansive journey through the ponderosa forests of the Southwest both to mourn—and to celebrate—the forests that nurtured him. The result is a life-affirming tribute to one of America’s most cherished wild landscapes and a reminder that loss can be a pathway to connection.
