Résumé:
Les textes de David Lowenthal réunis dans cet ouvrage explorent divers registres paysagers sur le mode de l’essai historique et géographique. La domestication de la nature sauvage par l’homme y est analysée en fonction d’options révélatrices d’identités culturelles distinctes. Ainsi, les écarts entre Ancien et Nouveau Mondes suivent-ils des pistes inspirées par l’esprit du lieu, mais aussi dictées par les traditions locales respectives. Le paysage est donc aménagé et interprété selon tout un spectre de significations et de valeurs reconnues par l’auteur, qui a voyagé à travers le monde entier et débusqué les retentissements des sites visités. Le titre du livre, «Passage du temps sur le paysage», rend compte des réflexions d’une vie entière sur la géographie et la diversité des paysages, y compris leur représentation respective. Ce survol géo-historique continue l’œuvre clé de David Lowenthal, Le passé est un pays étranger (1985), et résume en français la pensée universelle de l’auteur.

Résumé:
'In this book's two great predecessors, Forests and The Dominion of the Dead, Robert Pogue Harrison took two preoccupying images of the human psyche and considered them with a depth and originality that revealed their unlimited and unbroken presence in every assumption and moment of our lives. Gardens he describes modestly as an essay, but it suggests the same kind of pervasive presence of an underlying human impulse in our relation to the world around us. Harrison writes with eloquence, grace, and erudition rooted in the literatures of his four native languages (including Turkish) that informed his earlier books. The range of his perspective on the human myth suggests that he may be our Bachelard.' W.S. Merwin

"In From Yard to Garden, Christopher Grampp has produced a work of major importance and significant originality. This book will change the way Americans see and understand their homes, yards, and gardens. Grampp provides the first full-length and thoroughly documented history of the American back yard. He takes courageous, new positions that are sure to prompt thinking for all his readers and to suggest further research by his academic readers. The illustrations and captions are absolutely excellent. "Grampp's writing style is direct, clear, personal, and always approachable. He provides enough detail-and so much original new information-that the specialist, academic reader will be intrigued and satisfied; yet the narrative moves forward quickly enough to engage even the general reader who may be entirely new to the subject. Grampp's writing also sparkles with real humor."-Paul Groth, University of California at Berkeley, and author of Living Downtown: The History of Residential Hotels in the United States (Paul Groth 20070901)

Among a growing number of architects, landscape architects, and planners, however, these problems have inspired a new vision - sustainability - to guide their practices. nbsp; In Nature, Landscape, and Building for Sustainability,a diverse group of contributors considers the concept of sustainability, both philosophically and practically. Some take a broad view of the divisions between nature and humanity, exploring the incomprehensible scale of human intervention in the natural world, the relationship between how we feelabout nature and what we doabout it, and the commodification of the natural world. Other essays focus on sustainable design practices: sustainability's roots in the American conservation tradition, its utility as a framework for future design practice, and the necessity of moving beyond demonstration projects into the mainstream. Together, these essays suggest that the gap between the promise and reality of sustainable design, although significant, can be bridged through diligence and practice.
