Book score!
Went to Magus Books in the U-District today and stumbled upon the majority of geographer John Jakle's oeuvre:
* The Motel in America; hardcover; $8
* The Gas Station in America; $8
* City Lights: Illuminating the American Night; hardcover; $9
* The Visual Elements of Landscape; $9
I took a class with Prof. Jakle during my last semester at UIUC. The class was entitled "The Geographic Patterns of Illinois" and traced pre-white landscape, settlement, rural areas, small cities, and finally Chicago--oh, the luxuries of time under the semester system! It introduced me to the wonderful world of human and cultural geography; it introduced me the concept of "place". I credit John Jakle with opening my eyes to where I am today, academically.
