Summary:
De Bernard Pallisy aux paysagistes les plus contemporains, les créateurs de jardins et de paysages en France sont mal connus : la figure illustre d'André Le Nôtre éclipse trop souvent le foisonnement de jardiniers et d'inventeurs de paysages qui, chacun à leur manière, l'ont précédé ou lui ont succédé. Cette présentation de plus de deux cents créateurs et des mouvements ou des thèmes les plus représentatifs vient à point réparer cette injustice. Retraçant en deux tomes la chronologie d'un art véritablement protéiforme, cet ouvrage réunit plus de cent auteurs choisis sur les conseils d'experts, et présente l'essentiel des connaissances sur les plus importants créateurs de jardins et de paysages de l'Europe francophone. Conçu comme un outil au service des amateurs et des professionnels, il rend compte des recherches et des publications les plus récentes, sans omettre l'influence de l'histoire des mentalités, l'évolution de l'idée de nature et cette des modes, ainsi que l'apport sans cesse renouvelé des techniques. L'ensemble forme une histoire en mosaïque : celle d'un art en perpétuelle métamorphose.

Summary:
This book combines breathtaking aerial photographs and exquisite map-drawings of the American landscape with thoughtful essays that explore how various cultures have forged the landscapes in different regions of the country and what the possibilities are for future landscape design. The authors demonstrate that landscape representation is more than descriptive--it can also instruct and construct how people perceive, shape, and transform the land. Essays, Drawings, and Commentary by James Corner; photographs by Alex S. MacLean; foreword by Michael Van Valkenburgh.

Summary:
David Hicks' attitudes are revealed in these writings on garden design and on the gardens and styles which he admires. "What I have sought to achieve, all through my working life," he writes, "is a liaison between the past and the present day whilst maintaining a practical but somewhat experimental attitude to outdated tradition. I have attempted to introduce a lot of today and some of tomorrow whilst always keeping appropriateness and the client's requirements foremost in my mind. . . form and innovation are always of vital importance to produce style." "My Kind of Garden" is well illustrated with photographs of gardens he designed as well as gardens from around the world which particularly appealed to his very personal sense of good taste.
