Book excerpt: No evolution of a geographical region was more rapid and transformative than that of the American West at Mid-Century. "New West" explores the innovations that shaped this unique architectural landscape, through the vibrant, compelling images of the colour-saturated, highly-textured, popular art form of the Linen Post Card. Collision, eruption, and erosion are the formative forces that account for the raw vitality and breathtaking beauty of the American West. While it has taken 4.5 billion years to write the complex geological and hydrological history embedded in this region, it has taken less than 200 years to write the story of its modern transformation into an interdependent network of cities, parks, roads, infrastructure, and communications. "New West" draws from over 500 Mid-Century Linen Post Card images, to explore in detail the changes that the four waves of innovation; steam, steel, oil, and information, have wrought upon the land
