On the Grid: A Plot of Land, an Average Neighborhood, and the Systems That Make Our World Work

About the Program

Mr. Huler examines what he calls the vital support of daily life that is "shrouded in mystery" - infrastructure. To understand how it all works, what needs to be fixed and why, he poked around the infrastructure of his own Raleigh, North Carolina neighborhood.  He discusses what he discovered at Quail Ridge Books in Raleigh.
