Isolarion: A Different Oxford Journey
The Economist reviews James Attlee's "Isolarion" favorably
James Attlee’s scholarly, reflective, and sympathetic journey up the Cowley Road is one of the best travel books that has been written about Britain’s oldest university city. It is not—at least not directly—the Oxford of punts and gowns. His raw material is diversity: the Cowley Road as a corner of the outside world, where change and excitement are squeezed into the cramped hinterland of the scholarly theme park of the city centre.
You can read an excerpt of the book at University of Chicago Press website.
