Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review""This is a must-read for those who are involved with community planning or design, but is also simply an enjoyable read for anyone interested in some remarkable stories of community building. There is a lot in this book that is inspirational and it seems that we are fortunate that Linn’s legacy will be felt not only through this book but in the many spaces he helped create and the people whose lives he touched along the way. One thing is quite clear; the world needs more people like Karl Linn."" -- Leszek Apouchtine * re:place Magazine *
""Karl Linn's compassion, humanity and insight into what makes good community design - and what, in fact, makes community itself - is exactly what much of the world needs to develop if we are to evolve beyond our current frightful state of affairs. He saw the need for space and safety, beauty and joy in people's lives - especially the lives of poor children - and he filled it by the truckload. His was a quietly heroic life, lived close to the root of what really matters: an understanding that the happiness and peace we create for others is, delightfully, our own."" -- Alice Walker * author of The Color Purple *
