Good binding and cover. Minor shelf wear. Generally clean. Light spotting. xii, 201 pages: illustrations (black and white); 23 cm. "Richard A. Macksey was a celebrated Johns Hopkins University professor whose affiliation with the university spanned six and a half decades. A legendary figure not only in his own fields of critical theory, comparative literature, and film studies but across all the humanities, Macksey possessed enormous intellectual capacity and a deeply insightful human nature. He was a man who read and wrote in six languages, was instrumental in launching a new era in structuralist thought in America, maintained a personal library containing a staggering collection of books and manuscripts, inspired generations of students to follow him to the thorniest heights of the human intellect, and penned or edited dozens of volumes of scholarly works, fiction, poetry, and translation."-Johns Hopkins University.
Classic book for anyone studying anthropology, participant observation, architecture or city planning. Easy to comprehend and implement.

Interesting, but dated
When I bought this book I thought it would help me in my eduction as an architect to better understand peoples' relationship with space. Rather, this book investigates peoples' relationship with other peoples' space. The idea of "you're in my bubble;" that's what this book is truly about, but cuts across culture. Only delivers conclusions that anyone would expect. This book was not too scholarly where it was unreadable, but not a real page-turner either. A good book for anthropologists, sociologists, or psychologists.
