THE EMERGENCE OF
METROPOLITAN AMERICA,
1915-1966
by Blake McKelvey
This authoritative historical analysis of the growth of our cities
carries on the author's major account of the process begun in his
The Urbanization of America, 1860-1915.
Dr. McKelvey focuses his
narrative on the struggle of municipal leaders to master the problems
of urban growth and on the successive migrations into urban areas of
newcomers from Southern Europe and of rural Negroes from our own
South. In conclusion, he reviews the writings of other scholars and
presents their interpretations as aspects of our growing awareness of
urban problems. "The book will have great value not only within
academic circles but also within the general reading pUblic. As a
reference book, it should have few peers."-EMERY F. BACON,
Executive Director, Federal Interagency Committee on Education.

MILLSTONE VALLEY
by Elizabeth.
G. C.
Menzies
A superbly illustrated volume that vividly portrays the past and
present of one of New Jersey's historic valleys. Covering more than
30 municipalities in five counties, the Millstone Valley includes Prince–
ton, Hightstown, Cranbury, Kingston, and several other large and
affluent residential areas. Using a wealth of previously untapped
source material, Miss Menzies begins with the early colonial history
of the area, continues with the visual record of its early industrial
development, and then moves on to a consideration of the architectural
styles of the houses, churches, and other buildings in the valley. The
last, and bittel', chapter is a graphic and horrifying presentation of
today's overdevelopment and pollution-the destruction of an en–
vironment and its spoliation. 256
pages, 250 photographs, notes, index
