An objective and fact based comprehensive history of the evolution of 55 and over communities, including The Villages, can be found in "From Sun Cities to The Villages" by Judith Ann Trolander.
I just looked it up on Amazon and there are no ratings for it. Can you give us yours? Was it an enjoyable read?
