Book Synopsis
Why does a particular landscape move us? What is it that attaches us to a particular place? From Where We Stand is an eloquent exploration of the connections we have with places—and the loss to us if there are no such connections.

Trade Review
In the literature of place, Deborah Tall’s book stands out for its delicacy, range of learning, and refreshing frankness.""—Phillip Lopate

""A worthy contribution to the growing field of landscape studies. . . . Like Thoreau, who claimed to have travelled much in Concord, the author of From Where We Stand has travelled much—widely and deeply—in the Finger Lakes.""—New York History

""There has been a spate of books nominally about finding a sense of place but more accurately described as quests for community, or for home. . . . The best of the lot is Tall’s book about putting down roots in Geneva, New York.""—Utne Reader
