This text examines the three principal value systems which influence landscape architectural practice - the aesthetic, the social and the environmental - and seeks to discover the role that the profession should be playing now and in the future.

Recenzje

'His well-referenced book is likely to be a useful text for students, and ought to be a prompt for office coffee-talk.' - Landscape Design

'This is a book which strives for clarity of thought and clarity of design and succeeds in both...will probably become a standard textbook for those seeking to work as landscape architects or to understand the discipline.' - Landscape and Art
