Phenomenological Perspectives on Place, Lifeworlds, and Lived Emplacement: The Selected Writings of David Seamon [Paperback]

For over forty years, David Seamon has been a central figure in interdisciplinary work on place and space. This new volume brings together a selection of Seamons essays that showcases the breadth and depth of his engagement. The volume admirably complements Seamons recent Life Takes Place (Routledge, 2018) and is an essential volume for those interested in humanistic and phenomenological thinking about place, world, and lived experience. -- Jeff Malpas, Emeritus Distinguished Professor at the University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia

This volume demonstrates clearly why David Seamon is considered both a leading advocate for phenomenology and, also, through his work in geography and architecture, one of its pre-eminent practitioners. These eighteen chapters, mostly published since 2010 in diverse journals and edited collections, reveal the depth and range of his scholarship about the inseparability of person, place and lifeworld. This book demonstrates the diverse ways to do phenomenology and the complex wholeness of place and place experience. -- Edward Relph, Professor Emeritus of Geography, University of Toronto, Canada

David Seamon is one of the worlds foremost place theorists. This unique collection is not only a compelling compilation of his work but also an insightful, rich thematic overview of the fulness of meaning of the phenomenon of place. Each entry throws new light onlsŠ
