Summary:
L'attitude de flâneur excentrique de Henry D. Thoreau était perçue comme provocation : il n'en avait cure parce la marche dans la nature était essentielle à sa liberté ; elle formait le coeur d'un art de vivre exigeant leurs heures de promenade chaque jour. Elle s'insérait dans son idéal de culture de soi. Marcher s'ouvre sur le ton du plaidoyer sente une lutte : marcher(...)

L'attitude de flâneur excentrique de Henry D. Thoreau était perçue comme provocation : il n'en avait cure parce la marche dans la nature était essentielle à sa liberté ; elle formait le coeur d'un art de vivre exigeant leurs heures de promenade chaque jour. Elle s'insérait dans son idéal de culture de soi. Marcher s'ouvre sur le ton du plaidoyer sente une lutte : marcher pour affirmer sa liberté d'homme, pour ancrer dans l'espace, fuire les villes et les clôtures et mieux penser le monde. Une promenade en hiver est l'évocation nostalgique d'un paysage enneigé du Massachusetts, où la poésie se mêle de fines observations, dignes d'un naturaliste, sur le changement des saisons. La contemplation de l'hiver, loin d'être morne et triste, est source d'une vitalité cachée, stimulante pour l'esprit.

But that pattern, and the ways of life that went with it, were consigned to history by the most creative and simultaneously destructive cultural force in the modern era: the idea of individual, exclusive(...)

Summary:
We spray them, pluck them, and bury them under mulch; and we curse their resilience when they spring back into place. To most of us, weeds are a nuisance, not worth the dirt they are growing in. But the fact is weeds are a plant just like any other, and it is only we who designate them as a weed or not, as a plant we will dote over or one we will tear out of the earth(...)

Summary:
We spray them, pluck them, and bury them under mulch; and we curse their resilience when they spring back into place. To most of us, weeds are a nuisance, not worth the dirt they are growing in. But the fact is weeds are a plant just like any other, and it is only we who designate them as a weed or not, as a plant we will dote over or one we will tear out of the earth with abandon. And as Nina Edwards shows in this history, that designation is constantly changing. Balancing popular history with botanical science, she tells the story of the lowly, but proud, weed, a story that is just as much about the kinds of attitudes we foster toward the plants we grow and those we try to suppress.

Summary:
Modernity was critically important to the formation and evolution of landscape architecture, yet its histories in the discipline are still being written. This book looks closely at the work and influences of some of the least studied figures of the era: established and less well-known female landscape architects who pursued modernist ideals in their designs. The women discussed in this volume belong to the pioneering first two generations of professional landscape architects and were outstanding in the field. They not only developed notable practices but some also became leaders in landscape architectural education as the first professors in the discipline, or prolific lecturers and authors. As early professionals who navigated the world of a male-dominated intellectual and menial work force they were exponents of modernity. In addition, many personalities discussed in this volume were either figures of transition between tradition and modernism (like Silvia Crowe, Maria Teresa Parpagliolo), or they fully embraced and furthered the modernist agenda (like Rosa Kliass, Cornelia Oberlander).
