Power of place -the-

Are New Yorkers and Californians so different because they live in such different settings? Why do some prefer the city to the country? How do urban settings increase crime? Why does one feel better after an experience in nature? In the fascinating and enormously entertaining The Power of Place, Winifred Gallagher explores the complex relationships between people and the places in which they live, love, and work. Drawing on the latest research on behavioral and environmental science, Gallagher examines our reactions to light, temperature, the seasons, and other natural phenomena, and explores the interactions between our external and internal worlds, offering the latest insights into the ways we can change our lives by changing the places we live. ''Engrossing.''-New York Times
