Why read it?
1 author picked Naked Airport as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Airports are also highly charged, often controversial symbols of the places where they are located and of the condition of modern life more generally.
This book was one of the first books I read as I was beginning my own project. It helped me understand the complex meanings circulating around airports (in the United States and elsewhere) since the first ones were built in the early twentieth century. I also appreciated the irreverence and humor in the account, even when discussing rather grim subjects, and this helped to affirm my own ambivalent perspective on airports.
From Eric's list on The best books for understanding what airports teach us about society.
