In his time his revolutionary ideas appealed to women and he was
surrounded by more than a generation of clever and forceful women.
One who could say that ‘life is not really a gladiators’ show;
it is rather a vast mothers’ meeting!’ could not fail to
attract followers. WALTER STEPHEN Patrick Geddes – Sociologist,
Town Planner, Biologist, Peace Warrior. It is well known that this
extraordinary Scot shaped the cityscape of Edinburgh, but for the
first time Walter Stephen turns the lens onto the strong, wilful
women who influenced the revolutionary man – and who were in turn
influenced by him. From his wife and mother in Scotland, to a nun
in India and a Marchioness in Ireland, this insightful volume shows
the wide range of women across the globe whose lives intertwined
with Geddes’s, whether professionally or personally. Delving
deeper into Geddes’s personal life than ever before, Walter
Stephen and his fellow Modern Geddesians go beyond the surface of
the Scotsman’s acclaimed works to reveal the female characters
that shaped him throughout his life. Contributors include: Veronica
Burbridge, Siân Reynolds, Anne-Michelle Slater, Kenny Munro, Swami
Narasimhananda, Sofia Leonard, Kenneth MacLean, Robert Morris and
Kate Henderson. A well-researched and thoughtfully written book.
SCOTTISH REVIEW OF BOOKS on The Evolution of Evolution [The book]
makes the reader realise in what esteem Geddes should be held, not
just in Scotland, but across the globe. LALLANS MAGAZINE on A
