Description

In this book, Professor Entrikin argues that there is no essence or universal structure of place waiting to be uncovered or discovered by the theorist. The significance of place is associated with our "situatedness" as human agents, and is best represented in terms of narrative which can appreciate its specificity without reducing its richness as context to its more limited sense as location.
