Waldeinsamkeit (German): The feeling of being alone in the woods

All science should be scholarly, but not all scholarship can be rigorously scientific. The terrae incognitae of the priphery contain fertile ground in awaiting cultivation with the tools and in the spirit of the humanities.

John Kirtland Wright

The processes that occur in cities are not arcane capable of being understood only by experts. They can be understood by almost anybody. Many ordinary people already understand them; they simple have not given these processes names or considered that by understanding these ordinary arrangements of cause and effect, we can also direct them if we want to.
