Reviews
"A wholly original meditation .. that's part observation of the contemporary built environment, part cultural history, part philosophical account, and at times something like a Whitmanian poetic survey."--Carlo Rotella "The Boston Globe" (1/1/2013 12:00:00 AM)
"I was only halfway through this book when I began to quote from it. It is strong stuff and goes deep. It should be on every thoughtful citizen's "must read" list."--Karen Dahood "BookPleasures.com" (1/1/2013 12:00:00 AM)
"This is an author who is endlessly patient while pursuing his subjects, and delightfully capable of sharing his journeys with the rest of us. As a cultural historian, there can be few more determined to understand the modern human condition. Dwelling in Possibility is thus quite extraordinary in its quiet message about how we live, and certainly a triumph for this brilliant author."--Colleen Mondor "Bookslut.com" (1/1/2013 12:00:00 AM)
"Whenever I read Mansfield's work I come away feeling not only informed, but expanded. His books don't just sit on the surface of my mind, but enter it, giving me pause, inspiring me to think in new ways .... Dwelling in Possibility is a shelter for the intellect, inviting, warm and true."--Deb Baker "The Concord Monitor" (1/1/2013 12:00:00 AM)
"This is an enchanting and deeply intelligent book." --Jennifer Graham, The Hippo: New Hampshire's Weekly
