The
Good Life
Yi-Fu
Tuan
"[Tuan] explores answers to an
old and unanswerable question: how should we live? . . . The
Good Life is a little anthology of good feeling, touchstones
of joy . . . These pleasures make the book a pleasure, not of
conviction or belief, but of conversation's meandering exploration."
—New York Times Book Review
"Tuan,
after all, is one of the few geographers who can be read for
pleasure, and by the public as well as by the professional. But
read not merely for pleasure, nor yet to mark, learn, and inwardly
digest. Rather, consider Tuan's challenge to identify your concept
of the good life, and then try to construct that life."—Environment
and Planning D: Society and Space
Yi-Fu Tuan is Vilas Professor Emeritus at the University
of Wisconsin–Madison. His many books include Dear Colleague,
and his autobiography Who Am I?
also published by the University of Wisconsin Press. The UW Press
publishes several other books by Tuan, including Morality
and Imagination, and The Good Life.
Tuan's fondness for his hometown, Madison, is suggested by
his essay "Reflections," which muses over the photographic
pairings revealed in Zane Williams's recent book Double
Take: A Photographic Survey of Madison, Wisconsin.
