Résumé:
Conceived as an experiment that would apply the new "science" of city planning to a suburban setting, Forest Hills Gardens was created by the Russell Sage Foundation to provide housing for middle-class commuters as an alternative to cramped flats in New York City. Although it has long been recognized as one of the most influential planned communities in the United States, this is the first time Forest Hills Gardens has been the subject of a book. Susan L. Klaus's fully illustrated history chronicles the creation of the 142-acre development from its inception in 1909 through its first two decades, offering critical insights into American planning history, landscape architecture, and the social and economic forces that shaped housing in the Progressive Era. Klaus focuses particularly on the creative genius of Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., who served as planner and landscape architect for the project. Drawing on his father's visionary ideas but developing his own perspective, the younger Olmsted redefined planning for the modern era and became one of the founders of the profession of city planning in the United States.

Résumé:
From Tudor knot gardens, to Victorian extravaganzas and minimalist gardens of the new millennium, Charles Quest-Ritson has produced a new kind of gardening history. Whilst the gardens of the rich have always been impressive symbols of social and economic success, the gardens of the poor, by contrast, began as a basic means of survival. In a survey spanning the last five hundred years, the author shows how gardens have altered across the generations in direct response to changes in society. This is an illuminating piece of social history which reflects England's constant fascination with its gardens and their owners.

Résumé:
Qui ne connaît le château de Versailles et ses jardins?. Et pourtant, nul n'a abordé les messages cachés que cet ouvrage révèle. À travers le jeune héros et son guide Elouane, le lecteur apprend à décrypter la symbolique de la statuaire des jardins, qui apparaît alors comme une mémoire de pierre, de marbre et de bronze. Parterres, bosquets, statues et fontaines, pièces d'eau et terrasses, font des jardins de Versailles une véritable base de données artistique, historique, politique, mais aussi ésotérique. L'esthétique le dispute à la matière, les mythes et les légendes à l'histoire. Inscrits et donc mémorisés dans les jardins, les allégories et les symboles livrent les intentions du créateur et le sens qu'il veut donner à sa pensée et à son action. Il faut donc savoir discerner le visible et l'invisible. Car c'est bien le mystère des jardins du château de Versailles : s'il y a des messages visibles, il y en a aussi d'invisibles. Mises en place volontairement et consciemment par ses créateurs, ce n'est pas tant les statues en elles-mêmes que leurs interactions qui délivrent ces messages. Dans ces jardins où tout est mythe et symbole, le lecteur découvrira qu'il y a du sens dans l'invisible.
