Edward Soja's Postmodern Geographies
a book about Los Angeles
Mol's summation, 178: "Everything that Soja takes to be crucially important for postmodern times can be signaled in this single city: all the shifts and changes that have to do with cities, their (absence of) planning, their distances, their patterns of trade, their transport systems--everything that geographers take to be important is present in Los Angeles"
