They help give meaning to our natural and human-built environment, to landscape and place. In Signs in America's Auto Age, cultural geographer John Jakle and historian Keith Sculle explore the ways in which we take meaning from outdoor signs and assign meaning to our surroundings-the ways we "read" landscape. With an emphasis on how the use of signs changed as the nation's geography reorganized around the coming of the automobile, Jakle and Sculle consider the vast array of signs that have evolved since the beginning of the twentieth century. 410 0$aAmerican land and life series. 606 $aSigns and signboards$zUnited States 606 $aAdvertising, Outdoor$zUnited States 606 $aSocial interaction$zUnited States 606 $aLandscapes$zUnited States 606 $aCities and towns$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSigns and signboards 615 0$aAdvertising, Outdoor 615 0$aSocial interaction 615 0$aLandscapes 615 0$aCities and towns 676 $a659.13/42/0973 700 $aJakle$b John A$0148781 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451786603321 996 $aSigns in America's auto age$92205869 997 $aUNINA
