Routledge Revivals A Geography of the Lifeworld (Routledge Revivals): Movement, Rest and Encounter, (Hardcover)

Within the modern Western lifestyle increasing conflict is becoming apparent between that patchwork of isolated points such as the home or the office, which are linked by a mechanical system of transportation and communication devices, and a growing sense of homelessness and isolation. This work, first published in 1979, adopts a phenomenological perspective illustrating that this malaise may have partial roots in the deepening rupture between people and place. This book will be of interest to students of human geography.
