Recenzii
The book is superbly researched, colorfully and beautifully illustrated, and thoroughly analyzes the topic. It has the physical appearance of an elegant coffee-table book combined with outstanding scholarship, effectively employing theory and empirical data, particularly the oral and written testimony of participants.
There's absolutely no way I can do the work justice here - the book is incredibly thought-provoking, especially from the perspective of actually being a skateboarder. I highly recommend it.
SA fine book that I recommend to any skateboarder who can read at a college level.
This is an amazing book and a real surprise . A first. Pick it up and you'll learn something interesting about the cities you skate in; you might even learn something about skating itself.
Skateboarders help us to think about buildings and their use. Borden argues that they draw our attention to the city as the site of perpetual change.
Borden owes as much to 30 years of personal passion and experience as he does to any architectural or social theory.
Iain Borden's contribution to the field must be considered a milestone ... Incorporat[ing] a great volume of visual and textual material [this is] an interesting account that will attract both passionate skateboarders and academics who seek to broaden their understanding and appreciation of this small but remarkably influential wooden board.
