Trade Review
Yi-Fu Tuan is one of the most remarkable and creative forces in the intellectual life of our time. - Simon Schama, Columbia University, author of Rough Crossings ""In all his work, Yi-Fu Tuan has led us on journeys that have extended our imagination by expanding our spirit. Here he has done so again, but perhaps never so importantly as in Human Goodness. Unfailingly engaging and profound."" - Steven Grosby, Clemson University, author of Nationalism: A Very Short Introduction ""Tuan has produced a series of profiles that confirm his core assertion: humanity in the aggregate may be dispiriting, but in certain human lives a goodness prevails that has the power to instruct, inspire, and confound."" - William Howarth, Princeton University, author of Walking with Thoreau
