My new favorite.

this is the most expensive used-book i've ever bought.
within this collection of essays the author -doreen massey- traces the development of ideas about the social nature of space and place and the relation of both to issues of gender and discussions within feminism.
mumet!

A bit repetitious in places, but makes some fantastic points and is grounded in real world examples.

It's not so much that I thought this book wasn't well-constructed. Massey makes some important addendums and criticisms to the literature on social geographical theory (though I think she herself makes the mistake of which she accuses Harvey and Soja by leaving gender considerations largely out of the first two-thirds of the book). However, I just didn't enjoy the book. Coming from a sociological perspective, I didn't see much to fascinate or surprise me.

I read the entire thing
