Reviews / Votes
'To sum up, this is a very worthy book.' - Marcio M Valenca, Universitario Lagoa Nova, Brazil'Of all the great twentieth century philosophers, Henri Lefebvre is the least well known to the English-reading public and the immensity and variety of his works does not make the job of introducing him any easier. Rob Shields comprehensive book, which deals with the major works and all the stages of Lefebvres emphasis on space and the urban, as well as the everyday, has many as yet unexploited resources to offer contemporary thought and Shields' brilliant exegeses now make those available to us, virtually for the first time in English.' - Professor Frederic Jameson
