J.B. Jackson's Sense of Place, Time and Profundity

J.B. Jackson's reflections drawn from his many years' work in landscape architecture make a wonderful read for any interested in the burgeoning category of 'place' studies. Free of postmodernese yet relevant to contemporary sensibilities, his book 'A Sense of Place, A Sense of Time' is an informative, warm and welcome survey of issues he's encountered in a life in the profession.
