 the Fertile Verge
Created by:  |
 The historian Daniel Boorstin would have called "the Fertile Verge" - "a place of encounter between something and something else" ... :) Postrel sums up Boorstin's concept as follows: "A verge is not a sharp border but a frontier region: where the forest meets the prairie or the mountains meet the flatlands, where ecosystems or ideas mingle. Verges between land and sea, between civilization and wilderness, between black and white, between immigrants and natives... between state and national governments, between city and countryside - all mark the American experience." |
