I see several photos of set ups in garages and/or outdoors (such as this one). I'm new to brewing, having only brewed 2 batches so far and still awaiting the results. The book I'm reading stresses cleanliness and sanitization....... so my question is :

Is sanitization obtainable in these environments?

It sure is, the key is to cool the boiled wort quickly with a wort chiller and have a good yeast starter ready to start fermenting the beer ASAP. Of course risk of infection is higher in the summer because of the warm weather but I've brewed many a beer without a problem. BTW I'm the ugly F on the 1st picture, I brewed a Wit and a Saison on the brew day which I just started drinking. Good beers to brew in the summer and of course a good Weiss.

meh... sanitization is overrated.
