Item Description

New Hampshire resident Howard Mansfield writes about architecture, preservation, and history in his quest to understand the soul of American places. Writer and critic Guy Davenport said of him, "Howard Mansfield has never written an uninteresting or dull sentence. All of his books are emotionally and intellectually nourishing... He is something like a cultural psychologist along with being a first-class cultural historian. He is humane, witty, bright-minded, and rigorously intelligent. His deep subject is Time: how we deal with it and how it deals with us."

Add these two books, signed by the author, to your library: The Same Ax, Twice and Chasing Eden.

In The Same Ax, Twice he looks at how good restorations restore us.

In Chasing Eden: A Book of Seekers he looks at Americans seeking their Promised Land, seeking God, seeking freedom and seeking peace.
