Synopsis

First published in 1988, this book looks at our growing understanding of the ways in which human actions are integrated within our knowledge of the places in which those actions occur. It also explores the social historical antecedents that give meaning to our everyday surroundings and the psychological underpinnings to aesthetic experience.
