Patrick Geddes's Intellectual Origins

Murdo MacDonald

5/5 ( ratings)

Patrick Geddes is one of Scotland's most remarkable thinkers of the late 19th and early 20th century. His environmental and cultural message endures today, but until now the Scottish context to his thinking has not been properly acknowledged. This book changes that, situating Geddes within a distinctly Scottish intellectual background, and exploring his substantial national and international advocacy of art, architecture, ecology, literature, planning, geography and Celtic studies.
