In this innovative work; Lukasz Stanek frames a uniquely contextual appreciation of Henri Lefebvrersquo;s idea that space is a social product. Stanek explicitly confronts both the philosophical and the empirical foundations of Lefebvrersquo;s oeuvre; especially his direct involvement in the fields of urban development; planning; and architecture.

Microwave BrownThe book was insightful and pointed out some of the concepts and theoretical approaches such as hazard mitigation and sustainable reconstruction and recovery that still seems to have eluded policy makers and practitioners in the United States until recently. However; the author did not effectively link the new directives (PPD-8 and National Preparedness Directives/Policies) to the dominant theme of the book. Some of the EM principles she noted were outdated and not current (i.e.; not noting Protection or Prevention as new spokes in the wheel for EM). Again the book was very helpful as a reference tool; but clearly not written by a person with experience as a practitioner or with an understanding of the new emergency management academic domain.
