Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is very readable and clearly presented. ... Anyone interested in Aristotle, the history of philosophy and science, or ancient philosophy will want to read this refreshingly positive and philosophically interesting account of the seemingly ordinary yet very complex notion of place."--The Review of Metaphysics
