ISBN: 9780816608843.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeography\nOn the 25th anniversary of its publication, a new edition of this foundational work on human geography.\nIn the twenty years since its original publication, Space and Place has not only established the discipline of human geography, but it has proven influential in such diverse fields as theatre, literature, anthropology, psychology, and theology. Eminent geographer Yi-Fu Tuan considers the ways in which people feel and think about space, how they form attachments to home, neighborhood, and nation, and how feelings about space and place are affected by the sense of time. He suggests that place is security and space is freedom: we are attached to the one and long for the other. Whether he is considering sacred versus \"biased\" space, mythical space and place, time in experiential space, or cultural attachments to space, Tuans analysis is thoughtful and insightful throughout.\nUntil retiring in 1998, Yi-Fu Tuan was a professor of geography at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is ranked among the countrys most distinguished cultural geographers and has earned numerous honors, among them a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Bracken Award for landscape architecture, and an award for meritorious contribution to geography from the Association of American Geographers. He was recently named the Lauréat dHonneur 2000 of the International Geographers Union. He is the author of many essays and books, including Escapism (1998) and Cosmos and Hearth (Minnesota, 1999).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"University of Minnesota Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45119021940789,"sku":"ByrdShop_0816608849","price":60.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780816608843_4ada04de-d1fb-4f50-8f4d-142c5c2e9796.jpg?v=1781421354","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/space-and-place-the-perspective-of-experience-9780816608843","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
