Place II

Cresswell spends part of this reading talking about the regional concept of place and how it is important for people to share proximity and culture for their culture to grow. Also he focuses on the relationship between nature and culture and how they relate to the definition of Place.
However, one of the things i enjoyed about this reading was the way in which the home as a place was focused on. I personally agree with the idea that home is the best idea of Place I can come up with. Most people imbue their homes with a sense of self, which falls exactly under the concept of Place as defined by the book. However not everyone feels this way, and there are some people who tie negative feelings to the concept of home.
