- Summary:
- This is a philosophical and historical interpretation of the experience and meaning of place. Searching for a way of knowing and living in the world that does not fragment experience or exploit the environment, E.V. Walter explores the way people in other cultures and other times have experienced place. The book develops his theory of topistics--a holistic way of grasping a place as the location of shapes, powers, feelings, and meanings.
