Malpus succeeds at a difficult task: to garner fresh insights from already well-trodden territory. Sensitive to the dynamic relationships between organisms/persons and environments/lifeworlds, the book explores the historically unfolding modes of being-in-place. The tangle of major figures and positions is laid out with admirable clarity, as are the phenomena of dwelling, home, authenticity, identity, displacement, and exclusion. ? Robert Mugerauer, Professor and Dean Emeritus, College of Built Environments, University of Washington, USAThis book is a meticulous investigation of the layers of meaning in Martin Heidegger?s writings and lectures related with dwelling and architecture. The writer points out the misreadings and misinterpretations of numerous commentators of the philosopher?s writings, and reveals meanings that have been entirely passed or lost. In its precise, careful and calm argumentation Jeff Malpas? treatise is an exemplary philosophical study, especially for persons engaged in the multilayered field of architecture. Regardless of its philosophical tone, it is an evocative and assuring presentation of the mental grounding of dwelling and architecture. ?
