I come from Des Moines. Somebody had to. And, as soon as Bill Bryson was old enough, he left. Des Moines couldn`t hold him, but it did lure him back. After ten years in England, he returned to the land of his youth, and drove almost 14,000 miles in search of a mythical small town called Amalgam, the kind of trim and sunny place where the films of his youth were set. Instead, his search led him to Anywhere, USA; a lookalike strip of gas stations, motels and hamburger outlets populated by lookalike people with a penchant for synthetic fibres. Travelling around thirty-eight of the lower states - united only in their mind-numbingly dreary uniformity - he discovered a continent that was doubly lost; lost to itself because blighted by greed,...

Joseph Paxton’s Crystal Palace, the Palais des Machines by Ferdinand Dutert and Pennsylvania Station by McKim, Mead and White are three of the grandest and most innovative buildings of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These structures – with their innovative approaches to design and the use of new technology – paved the way for the modern architectural movement, but sadly no longer survive. Their destruction was irreparable and in stark contrast to the self-confidence of the original climate in which they were designed.
