{"product_id":"landscapes-of-fear","title":"Landscapes of Fear","description":"\u003cbr\u003eTo 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.\u003cbr\u003eIn 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. \u003cbr\u003eIn 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Minnesota Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58509187809615,"sku":"9780816684595","price":43.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/landscapes-of-fear","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
