Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. No clear thesis, one long rant filled with evo-psych, pseudo science, gender essentialism, and fat hatred. ( ) This is a hard book to characterize. It has several bad elements. It often reads like a architecture term paper. It is a little more than faintly anti-democratic. It annoyingly (to me) seems to misunderstand the pragmatic possibilities of post-modernism or "relativism". But there are some thought provoking lines about suburban sprawl and (more doubtfully) about the possibilities of dense city life. What this book is not is a "how to" on living simply.

"Why is western humanity, richer and safer than ever before, also fatter, sadder and more fearful? Blubberland is a witty and engaging critique of the way we live now. It covers architecture and city-making but looks also at why we desire, what we mean by beauty, our friend-foe relationship with nature and why truth is a life and death thing, even when we think we don't believe in it." -- Publisher.
