Περιγραφή για Landscapes of Fear Yi-Fu Tuan University of Minnesota Press Paperback / softback

To be human is to experience fear, but what is it exactly that makes us fearful? Landscapes of Fear-written immediately after his classic Space and Place-is renowned geographer Yi-Fu Tuan\'s influential exploration of the spaces of fear and of how these landscapes shift during our lives and vary throughout history.In a series of linked essays that journey broadly across place, time, and cultures, Tuan examines the diverse manifestations and causes of fear in individuals and societies: he describes the horror created by epidemic disease and supernatural visions of witches and ghosts; violence and fear in the country and the city; fears of drought, flood, famine, and disease; and the ways in which authorities devise landscapes of terror to instill fear and subservience in their own populations. In this groundbreaking work-now with a new preface by the author-Yi-Fu Tuan reaches back into our prehistory to discover what is universal and what is particular in our inheritance of fear. Tuan emphasizes that human fear is a constant; it causes us to draw what he calls our \"circles of safety\" and at the same time acts as a foundational impetus behind curiosity, growth, and adventure.
