Opis

I am a disciple of Patrick Geddes, and I am an abject admirer of everything he has said and done. The tantalizing nearness of everything we most want; were it not for some fatal, stubborn grain in both of us, Geddes and I, linked together, intellectual and emotional, might still conquer the world. For lack of this, he will be imperfectly articulate and I, perhaps, will have nothing to say.

Recenzje

`It is fair to say that both of them are, in their own ways, excellent role models for those who seek to analyse in a holistic fashion the environmental challenges that face us, and in doing so to implement the social changes necessary to ensure mankind continues to have a future on a more sustainably managed planet. This book provides fascinating detail and important historical material on how two towering figures of the 20th century saw that path.' - Town & Country Planning Martin Scot
