title: People & Places: Connections Between the Inner and Outer Landscape
author: John R. Myer
description: People &amp; Places is that rare book that has the ability to bridge a multiplicity of interests and appeal to all sorts of readers. If it were a music album, you'd call it a crossover.Architects will love its broad range of reference and sophisticated approach tot he built environment. The Myers know their stuff, from the proverbial hut in the storm to the grand icons of domestic and civic architecture. They are also grounded in the practical problems of building their own homea brilliant contemporary house and barn in rural New Hampshire. Their lively writing about this place reminds one of the popular works of Witold Rybcznski, with The Most Beautiful House in the World, and Tracy Kidders House.Homeowners will experience the blink reactionan aha! moment that illuminates everything about their propertylandscape, orientation, ornamentationand makes a sense of why we feel at home in a place, whether it be a condo or a castle. I cant imagine a better starting point for creating a space of ones own.Thoughtful people interested in human psychology will delight in how the Myers reinterpret the life-stage set forth by Erik. H Erikson in imaginative new ways.Lively writing informs every page. Psychiatric social worker Margaret Myer and her husband architect John Myer bring two diverse lives to bear on one subject: the connections between the inner and outer space. These connections we may have felt intuitively, but have never seen expressed. The ages of man and womankind, the struggle to mature, the rewards of growing up, all these are magically brought to bear on our habitat, our earth and dwelling place. Finally the integration of text and image is supple and illuminating. This is a very personal work by two people of passion and intelligence. It will touch the hearts and the minds of a great variety of readers and reach a broad mainstream audience. (Rebecca Sinkler, Editor Emerita, The New York Times Book Review)
