In Polar Inertia: Migrating Urban Systems, Los Angeles architect Ted Kane takes a look at the expanding meaning of urbanity in a wireless world predicated on total mobility. Photographs of RVs, border camping sites, camouflaged cell-phone towers and taco trucks are paired with three corresponding essays in a book where big headlines shift from page to page, post-package wrapping paper is used, and the image grid jumps from small images to double-spread bleeds in a rhythm that suggests motion and movement.

Existing modernist typography and gritty photographs combine to make a visual feast.
