They have an excellent sense of where world-shaping events are taking place at any moment\" —The New York Times • The basis for the HBO documentary streaming on HBO Max\n\nFor five years, James and Deborah Fallows have travelled across America in a single-engine prop airplane. Visiting dozens of towns, the America they saw is acutely conscious of its problems—from economic dislocation to the opioid scourge—but it is also crafting solutions, with a practical-minded determination at dramatic odds with the bitter paralysis of national politics. At times of dysfunction on a national level, reform possibilities have often arisen from the local level. The Fallowses describe America in the middle of one of these creative waves.\n\nTheir view of the country is as complex and contradictory as America itself, but it also reflects the energy, the generosity and compassion, the dreams, and the determination of many who are in the midst of making things better. Our Towns is the story of their journey—and an account of a country busy remaking itself.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0525432442\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 31UE34004G0R_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Fallows, James|Fallows, Deborah\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Former library book with the usual stamps, stickers and labels.
