Opis

This book investigates the perception and appropriation of places across intervals of time and culture. The particular concern of the volume is to bring together fresh empirical research and animate it by contact with theoretical sophistication, without letting that overwhelm the material. The chapters establish the continuity of a particular physical object undr discussion and show it in at least two different historical perspectives, in which recognisable features are shown in different lights.
