""What does it mean to be religious in the modern world?" This is the question posed by Yi-Fu Tuan, the esteemed humanist geographer. In this, his latest book in a long and distinguished career, Tuan turns to this specific challenge, which has been a uniting current in much of his previous work. To illustrate more fully the modern meaning of religion, Professor Tuan collaborates with photographer-artist Martha A. Strawn, who has devoted the last four decades making place-based photographs from around the world. Her stunning portfolio of photographs and short essays conclude the book." "Religion is a perennial human quest for safety, certainty, and spiritual elevation, Tuan argues, whose origins are oriented in place and particular cultural practices. In its highest reaches, religion moves toward universalism and placelessness. Drawing examples principally from Christian and Buddhist traditions, Tuan explores the ultimate placelessness of religious experience. Tuan's meditations, combined with the elegance and purpose of Strawn's photographs and essays, create a book that is both thought. provoking and quietly beautiful." --Book Jacket.
