Escapism is still my fav but this was very interesting as a follow up...
A thin book but whoah what a struggle to get through. He didn't make much effort to make it readable, but then again he's a geographer, not a creative writer... gives a little insight to a man whose focus is on our place in the world, in community, as individuals. I'd rather read one of his scholarly works, and I will.
