This text aims to shift the focus from collective memory to individual memory. This means focusing on a personal level our ideas of space a place, and how our own personal geography shapes the way we view places.  Drawing upon cultural geography, the book provides an accessible framework to approach key aspects of memory, remembering, archives, commemoration and forgetting in modern societies. This text allows an intensely personal perspective on smaller elements which create meaning, allow myself as a filmmaker the perspective of capturing these elements and considering them when truly trying to evoke personal relationship to space.  I found particularly useful the chapter on mapping grief and memory, as this allowed me to reflect upon how my own emotional mapping is weighted by memory and the elements that are outstanding if I were to capture it for screen.
