Description
Book SynopsisEnlarged edition of a classic work on the significance of place
Trade ReviewCasey's contributions complement those [of other writers], but they surpass most extant works in their majestic breadth, depth, and scope, offering insightful analyses, careful explications, and creative re-readings of both environmental phenomena and historical texts.
* Environmental Ethics *
This important and inspiring book is without question the most significant statement on place in our time.
* Theology Today *
Getting Back into Place offers an even more generous approach to place. According to Casey, we connect with a place merely by being attentive to it, open to its possibilities.
* Environmental History Review *
This rich intervention in the current discourse among scholars in the humanities and social sciences asserts the pervasiveness of place in constructing culture and identity.
