<p class="MsoNormal" style="vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:#333333">Named as one of the best books of the year by the New Yorker, Paved Paradise is an entertaining, enlightening, and utterly original
investigation into one of the most quietly influential forces in modern American life—the humble parking spot. “A romp, packed with tales of anger, violence, theft, lust, greed, political chicanery and transportation policy gone wrong… highly entertaining.”
