'In this book, geographer Yi-Fu Tuan considers the ways in which people feel and think about space and place. Place is security, he suggests, and space is freedom: we are attached to the one and long for the other. Tuan develops his work from a single perspective--that of human experience--and his aim is to be exploratory and suggestive rather than to have the last word in an area where our knowledge is tentative at best.'
