This sounds like a great book.
YOU ARE HERE: Why We Can Find Our Way to the Moon, But Get Lost in
the Mall, by Colin Ellard (Anchor, $15.) Ellard, a behavioral
neuroscientist, believes that our mental maps of the physical world
have become sparser over the course of human evolution; people are
hopelessly disconnected from their setting. He also describes animals'
impressive navigational skills and discusses the design of public
spaces in this delightful, clearly argued book.

The artist brings something into the world that didn't exist before, and he
does it without destroying something else. -John Updike, writer (1932-2009)
