David Seamon

A Geography of the Lifeworld (Routledge Revivals)

Movement, Rest and Encounter

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Within the modern Western lifestyle increasing conflict is becoming apparent between that patchwork of isolated points such as the home or the office, which are linked by a mechanical system of transportation and communication devices, and a growing sense of homelessness and isolation. This work, first published in 1979, adopts a phenomenological perspective illustrating that this malaise may have partial roots in the deepening rupture between people and place. This book will be of interest to students of human geography.
