description: A New York Times Notable Book this widely acclaimed biography of the man who was perhaps the world's foremost authority on cities architecture &amp; technology was written with unprecedented access to Lewis Mumford's personal papers. Miller neatly weaves together Mumford's public career &amp; his private life showing how utterly dependent each is upon the other. He clarifies in a way no one has both Mumford's genius &amp; his immense importance to all of us in understanding our extraordinary times &amp; civilization. Miller received Mumford's generous cooperation in writing this biography &amp; the unfailing assistance of his wife Sophia.
