Allen Dieterich-Ward, "Beyond Rust: Metropolitan Pittsburgh and the Fate of Industrial America "
English | ISBN: 0812247671 | 2015 | 360 pages | PDF | 33 MB
Beyond Rust chronicles the rise, fall, and rebirth of metropolitan Pittsburgh, an industrial region that once formed the heart of the world's steel production and is now touted as a model for reviving other hard-hit cities of the Rust Belt. Writing in clear and engaging prose, historian and area native Allen Dieterich-Ward provides a new model for a truly metropolitan history that integrates the urban core with its regional hinterland of satellite cities, white-collar suburbs, mill towns, and rural mining areas.
