Provocative and learned." -- Kirkus Reviews "Over the past 20 years, Richard Sennett has been at the forefront of those generalists endeavoring to synthesize the urban insights of history, architecture, the arts and social sciences into a coherent cultural vision... A wonderful, stimulating, richly thoughtful work that should add much to our debate about cities in the coming years." -- Philip Lopate - Newsday "A radical, original rethinking of our relationship to the built environment." -- Publishers Weekly
Richard Sennett's books include The Corrosion of Character, Flesh and Stone, and Respect. He was the founding director of the New York Institute for the Humanities and now teaches sociology at New York University and at the London School of Economics.
