The book "LA Freeway" (a fascinating book) provides some interesting
illustrations of chronotherms, that is, starting from a central point, the
area of the city that can be reached in selected time periods of travel. How
the Los Angeles Chrontherms have changes, grown, and then contracted in the
period from 1920 to 1980 is fascinating.
