Understanding Lewis Mumford: A Guide for the Perplexed
Stunkel (history, Monmouth U.) allows equal space for the words of urban theorist Mumford alongside his own in his "synoptic overview of ideas" from Mumford's career. He treats Mumford's work thematically, offering chapters on style, wisdom, human nature, politics, work, religion, science, cities, architecture, "megamachine," and renewal. A final pair of chapter considers critiques and defenses of Mumford's work. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
