Description

Senses in Cities : Experiences of Urban Settings, Hardcover by Low, Kelvin E. Y. (EDT); Kalekin-Fishman, Devorah (EDT), ISBN 1138694738, ISBN-13 9781138694736, Brand New, Free shipping in the US "Urban landscapes are usually thought of first and foremost as engineered formations designed for functionality. It is quite clear, however, that cities and towns are sites of social structure, scenes of diversity, and hotbeds of transgressions. They arealso sources of satisfying social relationships, settings for actions negotiated on an everyday basis, and opportunities for kinesthetic and aesthetic experiences. Within these processes, the senses mediate engagement with the optimism of urban growth, the comfort of urban traditions, and a consciousness of the diverse relationships that embellish urban living, but also with the repellent sights and sounds that invade zones of comfort. This book examines how qualities of place and their sensuous reorganisation elucidate particular sociocultural expressions and practices in urban life. The collection illuminates how urban environments are distinguished, valued, or reconfigured with the senses as media for evaluating authentic spaces and places that endureand change over time"--

  2. Book was new (as advertised) and priced fairly. I thought it could have been shipped by a more expeditious means for about the same money, but it was well packaged and arrived in good shape. The "slowness" in delivery was due to the delivery service the seller chose to use and was not due to a lack of timeliness on the seller's part. I would be glad to buy from this merchant again and I would recommend them to other eBay book shoppers.

  3. This unique book was priced quite reasonable. The book was advertised as new and arrived in mint condition and in the highest authentic hard cover quality. It Packaging was very good when mailed. I also find communicating with the seller during the shipping process, which was a bit of a wait for a very hard to find book, was very prompt and inspired trust. I highly recommend this seller and will return for future purchases.
