At Home in the Future: Place & Belonging in a Changing Europe

by John Rodwell (Editor), Peter Manley Scott (Editor)

Overview

Renegotiation of identities in a 21st century world and a resurgence of older loyalties are calling into question our shared senses of belonging and place. How and where to feel at home? This question is being pressed upon us once again. Landscape ecologists, planners, philosophers, and theologians come together in At Home in the Future to share their diverse perspectives on this challenging question. Only by means of such open-hearted conversations can we hope, in societies with complex histories and uncertain futures, to achieve a shared understanding of what it will mean to live together with one another and all that there is.
