" Helter-Shelter is superbly written. Prashan Ranasinghe shows an adept ability to synthesize and offer clarity to an oft-complex literature and set of frameworks. It is not easy to make sense of Lefebvre, Jamieson, and Bachelard, and Ranasinghe accomplishes the delicate balance between clarity while retaining the nuances offered by these authors. Ranasinghe beautifully manages to weave these and other authors on space into his analysis of the ethic of care without the reader feeling like they have been hit over the head." --Dale Spencer, Department of Law and Legal Studies, Carleton University "Ranasinghe contributes significantly to the conversation regarding the disorder, chaos and dysfunction faced by those working 'in the field.' The reader will leave Helter-Shelter feeling charged and, dare I say, more hopeful." --Dr. Rae Bridgman, Department of City Planning, University of Manitoba.
