THIRTY YEARS OF UNDSCAPE CHANGE IN AMERICA

In 1953, George Stewart published a compellin~ photugraphic record or his cross-country journey from Atlantic City to San Francisco. US. 40 was immediately acclaimed as a minor classic, unique in conception and important in its penetrating. analysis of America's natural and cultural landscape.

Now, thirty years later, geographers Thomas R. Vale and Geraldine R. Vale have retraced Stewart's probing tour across the highway. documenting their own voyage of discoverv with an updated series of photomaphs (each, paired with Stwart's original, shot from the same Iocatinn 1 and commentary. The result. as keenly observed and recorded as the original, is both a perceptive assrssrnent of landscape changes in the United States over the past three decades and a spirited. inspiring, and distinctly American travelogue.

We follow the Vales' progress -from Atlantic City through Baltirnorc, Columbus, Kansas Cit;v, Denver, SaIt Lake City and Keno, finally reaching land's land highway's) end at San Francisco -with pleasure and involvement, partn~rs in a rediscovery of a transformed, yet sometimes mysteriously immutable, America today.

Thomas R. Yale is Professor of Geography at the University of Wisconsih-Madison. He has contributed articles on American ecology and landscapes to a number of scholarlv and environmental journals. As evidenced by this work. hc is an inveterate traveler, an accomplished photoppher, and a sharp observer of the American Iandscap. Geraldine R. Vale is a teacher of English and geography in the Madison public scheoIs. Her work has appeared in the professional literature.
