      title = {London underground : a cultural geography /},
      abstract = {"This book provides a theoretical account of the evolution  of an archetypal modern environment. The first to complete  that slow process of estrangement from the natural  topography initiated by the Industrial Revolution, the  London Underground is shown to be what French  anthropologist Marc Augé has termed non-lieu--a non-place,  like a motorway, supermarket or airport lounge, compelled  to interpret its relationship to the invisible landscape it  traverses through the medium of signs and maps. Surveying  an unusually wide variety of material, ranging from the  Victorian triple-decker novel, to Modernist art and  architecture, to pop music and graffiti, this cultural  geography suggests that the Tube-network is a transitional  form, linking the spaces of Victorian England to the  virtual spaces of our contemporary  consumer-capitalism."--Page 4 of cover.},
