Kim examines the iconography of US 66, first as an idea, then as a connection of physical spaces, and finally as an American symbol. In this J.B. Jackson Best Book in Cultural Geography, readers will have access to the origins of the mythology of the American road, the evolution of automobile travel, and the role Route 66 now plays in the larger mythology of the US. Kim is an independent writer, geographer and architectural historian. He has published widely on the subject of Route 66. Distributed by International Publishers Marketing.
