prairiemary: A CASUAL LIST OF BOOKS ABOUT HOUSES & PLACES
“ I notice that sometimes when I mention a book, people assume I’m recommending it. But this is not always the case. I haven’t even read all the books above. Some of them (Yi-Fu Tuan, Rybczynski, Bachelard, Kemmis) are highly respected and certainly OUGHT to be recommended, but for different reasons. Kemmis is a practical and humanistic politician considering human community. Bachelard is a French philosopher writing poetry as much as reality. Tuan is a pseudonym for a respected professor. But Elaine Green simply edits a series of House Beautiful columns by various folks. (Not that they aren’t intriguing!)”
