{"product_id":"the-people-place-and-space-reader","title":"The People  Place  and Space Reader","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe People  Place  and Space Reader brings together the writings of scholars  designers  and activists from a variety of fields to make sense of the makings and meanings of the world we inhabit. They help us to understand the relationships between people and the environment at all scales  and to consider the active roles individuals  groups  and social structures play in creating the environments in which people live  work  and play. These readings highlight the ways in which space and place are produced through large- and small-scale social  political  and economic practices  and offer new ways to think about how people engage the environment in multiple and diverse ways. Providing an essential resource for students of urban studies  geography  sociology and many other areas  this book brings together important but  till now  widely dispersed writings across many inter-related disciplines. Introductions from the editors precede each section; introducing the texts  demonstrating their significance  and outlining the key issues surrounding the topic. A companion website  PeoplePlaceSpace.org  extends the work even further by providing an on-going series of additional reading lists that cover issues ranging from food security to foreclosure  psychiatric spaces to the environments of predator animals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44954842431541,"sku":"ByrdShop_0415664977","price":61.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780415664974.jpg?v=1770286452","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-people-place-and-space-reader","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
