Vision and Verticality A Multidisciplinary Approach

“Vision & Verticality is a recent entry in the Palgrave McMillan Social Visualities Series which they coedit, and which has received high praise by leaders in the field such as Douglas Harper. … By employing socio-visual thinking, Vision and Verticality attempts to convince social scientists closer to a sociology… . The book contains a wide variety of topics such as urban spaces, travel, leisure, politics, and environmental challenges. … I would add my more pragmatic praise as ‘useful’ and enlightening.” (Jerome Krase, Urbanities-Journal of Urban Ethnography, Vol. 14 (3), May, 2024)
