People in a Landscape

For courses in Landscape Design and Planning, Environmental/Ecological Planning, City and Regional Planning. * Taking a broad, ecological view of landscape at the continental and world scale, this innovative text considers how politics, government, etc. relate to Mother Nature, explains how the processes and products of that interaction are gradually destroying her, and offers suggestions for gaining deeper insights into the problem, and for developing more creative, effective and ecological management solutions. * NOTE: Garrett Eckbo is the world's most famous landscape architect and is the modern day father of this field. Eckbo is to his field what Frank Lloyd Wright was to architecture.
