Reviews

This book is a handy reference and easy to use especially for students ... The timeline especially is very good.
*Deepika Shetty, Manipal School of Architecture and Planning, India*

...quality content and focus on what the profession is about - augmented with concise text, explanation of terms, and great graphic content. It's a superb book.
*Landscape + Urbanism blog, 2010*

This might be the perfect gift for those people that continually fail to understand what it is a landscape architect really does.
