• W1940221418 abstract "It was always my intention to think about cities as permanently in harness with another central aspect of Western civilization, an ever-evolving technology and geography of transportation. James E. Vance Jr., 1990 The noted geographer James E. Vance Jr. died at the age of seventy-three in his Berkeley, California, home on 3 August 1999. Vance will be best remembered for a prodigious body of scholarship on and transportation geography, particularly on how evolving transportation-settlement relationships have shaped modern human geography. Known affectionately as to his family, friends, and students, Vance was a physically imposing man with a renowned love of fine cuisine, good drink, and wide-ranging conversation (Figure 1). One of the greatest joys of this gourmet was to host dinner parties with his English-born wife, Jean, a professional geographer who taught at San Francisco State University for many years and whose death in 1992 came as an emotional blow from which Jay never quite recovered. The Vances are survived by their daughter, Tiffany, a geography major at Dartmouth College who broke the family mold by pursuing graduate work in oceanography. Referring to herself as a fallen geographer, Tiffany Va nce now works on marine geographical information systems in a demonstration of loyalty to her genealogy. With the passing of this eminent geographer, I am stuck by the degree to which his colorful personality loomed large in his work: To appreciate his approach to geography, one must begin with his persona. Vance's strong temperament inevitably affected and even stimulated his ten books and monographs, thirty articles and book chapters, and twenty reviews. For Vance, whose work often made a point of contesting popular opinions, was clearly unafraid of taking unfashionable stances; in fact, he relished going against the grain. He loved to tweak people's sensibilities with irreverent and often comical asides, as when he referred to Queen Elizabeth II as Betty Windsor, to the mock horror of his English wife. Fiercely independent, Vance took pride in acting the curmudgeon. He was also staunchly loyal to his friends, unfailingly supportive of his students, and despite his many deeply held views, often open-minded. Remarkably, given his many accomplishments, his active scholarly curiosity carried no trace of pretens ion. Such personal qualities in large part shaped Vance's influential scholarly contributions to the discipline of geography. He was an geographer with a distinctive historical approach that emphasized the evolution and structure of city systems, the roles of transportation and trade in shaping settlement, and the social processes that internally differentiate areas. Vance's interests focused especially on what he called urban morphogenesis--the creation and subsequent transformation of city form (1990, 38). Hailing originally from Natick, Massachusetts, Vance retained great pride in his New England roots. After completing his doctorate in geography at Clark University on the Growth of Suburbanism West of Boston (1952), under the supervision of Raymond Murphy, Vance held teaching positions at the University of Arkansas (1953 - 1955), the University of Wyoming (1955-1957), the University of Nebraska (1957-1958), and the University of California, (1958-1991). As an urbanist with a regional emphasis on North America and Europe, his interests differed significantly from those of his departmental colleagues during the heyday of the Berkeley School of cultural-historical geography under Carl Sauer, whose preference for traditional rural societies of the western United States and Latin America is well known. Still, Vance's historical geography clearly shared a Sauerian appreciation for regional evolution, a humanistic bent, a suspicion of positivist social science, and a quirky individualism very much at home in the classical School. …" @default.
