Reviews
...I find this new edition to be riveting. The speculations and discussions [Shelton] began in the first edition have evolved and been broadened - this is, in effect, a new book. In a staggering display of scholarship he illuminates complex Japanese concepts of religion, landscape, urban design, archtitecture, spatial-definition, map making, writing systems, graphics... - Journal of Asian Urbanism ...Learning from the Japanese City still represents the clearest articulation of the substance of Japanese urban form. I would strongly recommend it to anyone studying or travelling to Japan. I took my first edition with me when I went, and the trip was immeasurably more informed and fulfilling as a result. - Built Environment
