Résumé:
Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) designed New York City's Central Park, Brooklyn's Prospect Park, Chicago's South Park and Jackson Park, Montreal's Mount Royal Park, the park systems of Boston and Buffalo, and many others. But Olmsted's concerns extended beyond the hills and lakes, the flora and fauna of the park: he also designed parkways and neighborhoods, reshaping cities around their parks. He thus reinvented the American urban landscape as a democratic outdoor setting that encouraged a new kind of participation in city life. Olmsted was one of the most gifted of American writers of his generation: prior to designing Central Park, he had written five important books, including The Cotton Kingdom (an account of his travels in the slave states, also available from Da Capo Press); and his writings on American landscapes are unfailingly lively, eloquent, and passionate. Civilizing American Cities collects Olmsted's plans for New York, San Francisco, Buffalo, Montreal, Chicago, and Boston; his suburban plans for Berkeley, California and Riverside, Illinois; and a generous helping of his writings on urban landscape in general. These selections, expertly edited and introduced, are not only enjoyable but essential reading for anyone interested in the history - and the future - of America's cities.

Résumé:
George Plumptre traces the use of ornamental features throughout the history of the Western garden from the great formal gardens of Italy and France to the more intimate creations of contemporary design. Taking the principal categories of ornament in turn, he shows how, over the last five hundred years, garden designers have used stone, wood, and metal to enhance and modify the natural features of the landscape. He then analyzes the role of ornament in modern garden design, showing how long-held and tested principles of design can be applied imaginatively in the typical modern garden. With special contribution by Jamie Garnock and James Rylands. Photographs by Hugh Palmer.

Résumé:
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.
