In Motion

Tony Hiss's intriguing book starts from the idea that travel lets us see even familiar surroundings with fresh eyes. In his easy and approachable style, Hiss finds the transcendent in the mundane. Ordinary landscapes-highways, train tracks, intersections-become as extraordinary as the first human settlements or the most dazzling and renowned streetscapes. In Motion opens paths of understanding for planners, architects and landscape architects, and everyone else. It's a journey worth taking.
