Description
Contents
First published forty years ago and still widely referenced, Edward Relph's Place and Placelessness has taken its place as a classic of the phenomenological approach to the study of place and has influenced a generation of scholars.
For this reprint Professor Relph has written a new introduction setting his original work in its contemporary context.
He shows how the concepts of place have been modified and yet continue to be of vital importance in interpreting a world which travel and commerce have made very different from that of 1976.
In his words: “sense of place has the potential to serve as a pragmatic foundation for addressing the profound local and global challenges, such as climate change and economic disparity, that are emerging in the present century.”

I came across several references to Relph in other studies (am studying for a PhD). My subject is nursing, so he was not a name I was previously familiar with. I can highly recommend this, very readable.

With all the publicity around Auge's 'non-places' I was very surprised to find this written so long before that - it puts things into perspective.
