The Logic Of Movement: Consumption Logistics On The Las Vegas Strip, Robert Dean
The Logic Of Movement: Consumption Logistics On The Las Vegas Strip, Robert Dean
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
The omnipresence of consumption in advanced societies is indisputable; spaces designed to facilitate consumption (or means of consumption) are one aspect of that presence.
