(The elusive nature of the concept of territory is broken ...)
The elusive nature of the concept of territory is broken down here, and the term's significance reassessed. In his analysis of Western concepts and history, Gottmann closely examines the concept of territory as a psychosomatic device, and comments on how its evolution is similar to basic human striving for security, opportunity, and happiness.

This book was written mainly for American students by a European who has had the privilege of teaching and working in the U. S. and Canada as well as in several European countries.
