[The series] presents a stunning look into the future, when all of Earth's major cities are now mounted on wheels, roaming across the landscape as massive Traction Cities. Our society has built itself on the principals of Municipal Darwinism - this basically involves the bigger cities hunting down, and consuming, the smaller ones.

New Hope for American Art was authored, designed and published by James M. Alterman, an expert in the field of Pennsylvania Impressionist and Modernist painting. A longtime collector and owner of two fine art galleries, Alterman wanted to create a user-friendly book intended not only to educate collectors and enthusiasts about this art but to help train one's eye. The book offers valuable tips on how to avoid common mistakes often experienced by new collectors drawn from the author's personal experiences as a collector and fine art dealer.
