Opis

Life Takes Place argues that, even in our hypermodern world, human life is impossible without place. Advocating for a holistic way of understanding that he calls "synergistic relationality," Seamon defines places as spatial fields that gather, activate, sustain, identify, and interconnect things, human beings, experiences, meanings, and events.
