Overview

Part of a series of guides following key figures and themes, Walter Stephen explores the life and theories of the Scottish biologist, sociologist, geographer, philanthropist and urban planner, Sir Patrick Geddes. His renewal work in Edinburgh's Old Town is as visible and impressive today as it was in the 19th and 20th centuries and his concepts such as 'Think Global, Act Local' are just as relevant. The author is an authority on Patrick Geddes and this book forms part of the On the Trail series.
