In all of its aspects--emotionalism, impulsiveness, opportunism, territoriality, resourcefulness, and fundamental, cacophonous democracy--Langewiesche reveals the unbuilding to be uniquely American and oddly inspiring, a portrait of resilience and ingenuity in the face of disaster.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilliam Langewiesche\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several books, including \u003ci\u003eCutting for Sign\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSahara Unveiled\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e Inside the Sky\u003c\/i\u003e.
