Crestwood Heights

by John R etc. Seeley

Crestwood Heights. A name that conceals the identity of a real suburban town. Its well trimmed hedges, well-groomed children, and well-planned schools are familiar enough, but Crestwwod Heights takes the reader behind the scenery to what goes on inside the homes, schools, clubs, churches and to see how the commuters and their families think, feel, and act. For five years, the authors of this first book length study of a suburb observed and interviewed the residents of Crestwood Heights in every aspect of daily living - from P.T.A. participation and wage-earning to dating and child-rearing. Their findings will interest many kinds of suburbanites, city-dwellers, educators, and social scientists.
