'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
