Summary:
The first edition of this book, published in 1994, reshaped the direction of landscape studies by considering landscape not simply as an object to be seen or a text to be read, but as an instrument of cultural force, a central tool in the creation of national and social identities. This second edition adds not only a new preface, but five new essays--from Edward Said, W. J. T. Mitchell, Jonathan Bordo, Michael Taussig, and Robert Pogue Harrison-extending the scope of the book in remarkable ways.

Summary:
What other post-industrial landscape affords the possibility of being so completely overhauled, from its very soil mix to the edifices erected upon it? In 2009, the IBA conference "Opportunity: Post-Mining Landscapes" addressed these and related themes. Examining former mining sites in Europe, the U.S., Chile, South Africa and China, the proceedings of this conference(...)

Summary:
John Stilgoe is just looking around. This is more difficult than it sounds, particularly in our mediated age, when advances in both theory and technology too often seek to replace the visual evidence before our own eyes rather than complement it. We are surrounded by landscapes charged with our past, and yet from our earliest schooldays we are instructed not to stare out(...)

Summary:
John Stilgoe is just looking around. This is more difficult than it sounds, particularly in our mediated age, when advances in both theory and technology too often seek to replace the visual evidence before our own eyes rather than complement it. We are surrounded by landscapes charged with our past, and yet from our earliest schooldays we are instructed not to stare out the window. Someone who stops to look isn’t only a rarity; he or she is suspect. "Landscape and images" records a lifetime spent observing America’s constructed landscapes. Stilgoe’s essays follow the eclectic trains of thought that have resulted from his observation, from the postcard preference for sunsets over sunrises to the concept of "teen geography" to the unwillingness of Americans to walk up and down stairs. In Stilgoe's hands, the subject of jack o’ lanterns becomes an occasion to explore centuries-old concepts of boundaries and trespassing, and to examine why this originally pagan symbol has persisted into our own age.

Summary:
The relationship between landscape and architecture became strained in the early Modern Movement when the two parted ways in an effort to idealize place making. The aim of this volume of essays is to create a platform where these two disciplines may be reunited in a critical dialogue. The book originates from a symposium of the title and lecture series organized by the School of Architecture at Arizona State University during 1998-1999. It includes over 20 essays by academics and professionals whose work addresses the need to reconsider these two disciplines as complementary pieces of the same puzzle.
