Résumé:
Frederick Law Olmsted (1822–1903) is most often remembered as America’s preeminent landscape architect, a profession he named, helped to define, and elevated into an art form in beloved parks and public spaces. Gathering over 100 items—letters, travel sketches, newspaper articles, essays, editorials, design proposals, official reports, and autobiographical reminiscences—this volume charts the emergence and development of Olmsted’s vision of restorative public green spaces as an antidote to the debilitating pressures of urbanization and modern life.

Résumé:
Frederick Law Olmsted is best remembered for his landscape architecture, from New York's Central Park to Boston's Emerald Necklace to Stanford University's campus, Olmsted was also an influential journalist, early voice for the environment, and abolitionist credited with helping dissuade England from joining the South in the Civil War. This momentous career was shadowed by a tragic personal life, also fully portrayed here. Most of all, he was a social reformer. He didn't simply create places that were beautiful in the abstract. An awesome and timeless intent stands behind Olmsted's designs, allowing his work to survive to the present day. With our urgent need to revitalize cities and a widespread yearning for green space, his work is more relevant now than it was during his lifetime.
