One of the great traumas of modern life is the loss of a sense of place. Gerald Adelmann draws on his internationally recognized work as a regional environmental and historic preservation planner in Illinois to articulate ways in which nature, art and history need to be woven back into the fabric of American metropolitan life in order for that life to be healthy and meaningful.

This talk is held in conjunction with the Environmental Horizons 2001 Conference, March 26- 27, 2001.
