'The author has succeeded resoundingly. This is a welcome synthesis which skilfully links the general to the particular, embraces the conceptual and the empiricial, and deals effectively with every scale from that of the individual building to... global views. - Progress in Human Geography

'Readers can only be impressed by the passion as well as the diligence that has gone into this book.' - Landscape History
