La pensée paysagère, ce n'est pas la pensée du paysage. Ce livre n'est pas une histoire de la pensée du paysage. Il pose la question : pourquoi cet étonnant contraste entre, d'une part, ces innombrables générations qui n'avaient pas de pensée du paysage mais qui nous ont laissé tant d'admirables paysages, et d'autre part cette génération qui, tout en ne cessant de parler(...)

La pensée paysagère, ce n'est pas la pensée du paysage. Ce livre n'est pas une histoire de la pensée du paysage. Il pose la question : pourquoi cet étonnant contraste entre, d'une part, ces innombrables générations qui n'avaient pas de pensée du paysage mais qui nous ont laissé tant d'admirables paysages, et d'autre part cette génération qui, tout en ne cessant de parler et d'écrire à propos du paysage, le détruit à grande échelle sur tout son territoire - hormis quelques icônes ? Nous avons une pensée du paysage, mais nous n'avons plus de pensée paysagère, c'est-à-dire cette pensée concrète, vivante et agissante qui s'exprimait par de beaux paysages. Fétichiser cet objet de consommation (touristique, immobilière, académique etc.) qu'est aujourd'hui le paysage, cela ne suffira pas pour retrouver cette manière d'être qui s'incarnait dans la pensée paysagère.

Summary:
Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840) is heralded as the greatest painter of the Romantic movement in Germany, and Europe’s first truly modern artist. His mysterious and melancholy landscapes, often peopled with lonely wanderers, are experiments in a radically subjective artistic perspective—one in which, as Freidrich wrote, the painter depicts not “what he sees before him, but what he sees within him.” This vulnerability of the individual when confronted with nature became one of the key tenets of the Romantic aesthetic.

Summary:
Although modern wastewater treatment plants are able to treat such pollution their techniques are not applicable to small municipalities, and especially not to private houses. Through precise analysis of thirty examples of wastewater treatment plants located in different European countries and in the USA, the authors demonstrate the benefits of using water plants in the treatment of wastewater for all kinds of typologies and communities. The different examples are analysed from a functional angle and as an important element of consideration when planning landscape.

Summary:
The highway has become the buyway. Along the millions of miles the public travels, advertisers spend billions on images of cola, cars, vodka, fast food, and swimming pools that blur past us, catching our fleeting attention and turning the landscape into a corridor of commerce. A smart, succinct, and visually compelling history of the billboard in America, Buyways traces how the outdoor advertising industry changed the face of American commercialism. Taking us from itinerant bill-stickers of circus posters in the 19th century to the blinking, beeping, 3-D eyesores of today, Gudis argues that roadside advertising has turned the landscape itself into a commodity to be bought and sold as advertising space.
