À propos de cette écoute
Our surroundings can powerfully affect our thoughts, emotions, and physical responses, whether we’re awed by the Grand Canyon or Hagia Sophia, panicked in a crowded room, soothed by a walk in the park, or tempted in casinos and shopping malls. In Places of the Heart, Colin Ellard explores how our homes, workplaces, cities, and nature - places we escape to and can’t escape from - have influenced us throughout history and how our brains and bodies respond to different types of real and virtual space. As he describes the insight he and other scientists have gained from new technologies, he assesses the influence these technologies will have on our evolving environment and asks what kind of world we are, and should be, creating.
Colin Ellard is the author of You Are Here: Why We Can Find Our Way to the Moon, but Get Lost in the Mall. A cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Waterloo and director of its urban realities laboratory, he lives in Kitchener, Ontario.

Very Disappointing!
Beware! Despite its title, this book does not deal with places or buildings but rather, and in light fashion, with psychology. In fact, the few highlights of this shallow work occur when it deals with actual places, such as Stonehenge, medieval cathedrals or New York’s Lower East Side. Otherwise, it is a collection of generalities, some may even say platitudes.
The writing is extremely crafted, to the point of being pompous and long-winded. Is it really pertinent to refer to video games as “recreational pursuits” or to Yelp as “a crowd sourced depository of reviews”?
In the audio version, the narrator does not improve things with his slow, careful enunciation. He is particularly aggravating when he imitates French, German or Dutch accents in quoting foreign sources (in English).
Overall, it appears best to pass on this offering.
