This collection of essays looks at the issue of human well-being from the point of view of environmental aesthetics. Questions addressed include: What role do aesthetic values have in advancing well-being? Are there environments that are particularly supportive of well-being? What is the place of aesthetic factors in environmental and city planning? The authors of the first part of the book illuminate the relationship between aesthetics and well-being by discussing such notions and ideas as aesthetic well-being, interactive environmental planning, aesthetic quality in urban planning, aesthetic footprint, and ecological aesthetics. The authors of this part also engage with many topical questions in environmental and everyday aesthetics. For example, Yuriko Saito’s idea of green aesthetics as well as Allen Carlson’s science-based model of the aesthetic appreciation of nature are critically examined.

Denne bog tilbyder en ny, komparativ tilgang til minimalistisk dansk kortprosa fra 1990'erne. Den sætter fokus på genrens underbelyste forbindelser til tre andre beslægtede litterære traditioner: den amerikanske short-story, den fantastiske fortælling dyrket af Franz Kafka og Jorge Luis Borges, samt den norske punktroman. Den danske kortprosas dialogiske referencer analyseres i bogen med fokus på flere aspekter, herunder udtryk, form, omfang, funktion, og ikke mindst betydning for den reelle læser. Således giver bogen et nuanceret indblik i genrens intertekstuelle komposition, både med hensyn til æstetik og tolkning. Ved at stille skarpt på den danske kortprosas fortrængte dialogisme tegner bogen et billede af genren som et vigtigt aspekt af kortprosaens globale udvikling i 1900-tallet
