  • Atomic sameness

    Open AccessRex J RowleyARTICLEGeographical Review2026

    Dozens of locations across the United States were impacted by the development and deployment of American atomic weapons. Some of these places continue to change along with the world around them. Other sites remain in intentionally static space. Using a cultural landscape approach, this paper analyzes two such places that represent two broad groups of static atomic landscapes: 1) atomic testing sites; and 2) remnant sites for containment of stored…

  • Under Threat of Fire

    Rex J RowleyARTICLEGeoHumanities2020Referências: 3

    This auto-geographical, sense of place essay represents one approach to understanding a personal attachment to a location that has been disrupted by time and a destructive wildfire. It is written in the context of increased frequency of natural and human-caused disasters and a growing literature engaging the impact of disasters on place. It is an attempt to illustrate how a personal essay can be an important venue through which geographers can ex…

  • Evoking a shifting sense of place in one museum following the 3/11 tsunami in Japan

    Rex J RowleyARTICLEAsian Geographer2019Citada por: 2Referências: 18

    On March 11, 2011, Japan experienced the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in that country. A coastal port and fishing city in Miyagi Prefecture, Kesennuma was one of the hardest hit population centers, the waves having destroyed much of the city’s commercial core and nearly all of its low coastal neighborhoods. The wave’s destruction highlighted certain elements of the city’s sense of place and forever changed others. I explore how the Kese…

  • Voluntary regions and the case of Las Vegas

    Rex J RowleyARTICLEJournal of Cultural Geography2017Referências: 32

    A shifting American cultural geography, stemming from clustering of like-minded people, has been much-discussed in recent years. The “voluntary region”, proposed by Wilbur Zelinsky in his path-breaking The cultural geography of the United States, is a regional construct relatively unexplored by cultural geographers that may help in their contributions to such conversations. As described by Zelinsky, voluntary regions are places that attract indiv…

  • A Cartographic Framework for Visualizing Risk

    John C Kostelnick, Dave Mcdermott et al.ARTICLECartographica The International…2013

    Increased attention to global climate change in recent years has resulted in a wide array of maps and geovisualizations that forecast various scenarios. Since many consequences of climate change are inherently geographic in nature, effective cartographic representations that depict these risks are valuable for planning and mitigation purposes. In particular, sea-level rise resulting from climate change calls attention to the numerous representati…

  • Religion in Sin City

    Open AccessRex J RowleyARTICLEGeographical Review2012Citada por: 2Referências: 20

    Religion is an important, yet overlooked, aspect of local life in Las Vegas, Nevada. Many residents attend worship services and practice faith in an environment that often promotes the opposite of their religious beliefs. Using qualitative data from interviews with clergy across the spectrum of faith traditions, I analyze the adaptation of institutional religion to local circumstances in order to understand how religious belief reflects local sen…
