Dwelling, he says, is an old-fashioned word that we've misplaced. \u003cbr\u003eWhen we live heart and soul, we dwell. When we belong to a place, we dwell. Possession, they say, is nine-tenths of the law, but it is also what too many houses and towns lack. We are not possessed by our home places. This lost quality of dwelling--the soul of buildings--haunts most of our houses and our landscape.\u003cbr\u003eDwelling in Possibility is a search for the ordinary qualities that make some houses a home, and some public places welcoming.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Like Thoreau, Mr. Mansfield is a keen observer and, in his neck of New Hampshire, a granitic critic of the rushed life.\" -- The Wall Street Journal","brand":"Bauhan Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108846485744,"sku":"2940148664956","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148664956_p0.jpg?v=1763706408","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148664956","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
