Erratum
There is a factual error in the first paragraph of the review of Edensor's Industrial Ruins: Space, Aesthetics and materiality in volume 26, issue 4, pages 759 – 760. The reviewer says that the book is derived from a thesis. Professor Edensor was actually the opponent for the thesis. The reviewer, editors, and publisher apologise for this error.
