Résumé:
There are infinitive ways to build a community, yet the defining feature of any community is characteristically the landscape. Whether it is a park, a river corridor, community gardens, a plaza or a streetscape, the public spaces where people interact provide a shared sense of ownership. In a systematic overview, following the workflow sequences of open space projects, the author explores the various types and levels of intervention: from master planning to guerrilla gardening and from land reclamation to building in existing fabric. The emphasis is on strategies of interaction between landscape projects, building development, and urban planning, resulting in neighbourhoods and city quarters that offer a higher quality of life.

Résumé:
“When walking, or perhaps more rarely when sauntering on horseback, one is in direct contact with surroundings, reifying a connection to natural rhythms. To forget the season, soil, and sky is to deny existence.” So writes landscape architect Roger G. Courtenay in this publication. Whether walking the Piedmont of Virginia, canoeing the French Broad River near Asheville,(...)

Résumé:
“When walking, or perhaps more rarely when sauntering on horseback, one is in direct contact with surroundings, reifying a connection to natural rhythms. To forget the season, soil, and sky is to deny existence.” So writes landscape architect Roger G. Courtenay in this publication. Whether walking the Piedmont of Virginia, canoeing the French Broad River near Asheville, North Carolina, driving along the Blue Ridge Parkway, or exploring Thomas Jefferson’s Academical Village, Courtenay turns to his local countryside for inspiration. In this book the author delves into the nuances of his craft, inviting us to share his encounters with a myriad of landscapes and revealing how he then interprets these experiences in his sketches.

Here, "landscape" refers to the earth alive with creatures and organisms, while "retreat" suggests human patterns are fluid and adaptable.

Résumé:
"Landscapes of retreat" explores climate adaptation through portraits of land left behind as settlement patterns shift with a changing climate. Here, "landscape" refers to the earth alive with creatures and organisms, while "retreat" suggests human patterns are fluid and adaptable. Featuring field studies from Nijinomatsubara Forest (Japan), Maule River (Chile), Niugtaq Village (Alaska), Langtang Park (Nepal), and Gaspésie Peninsula (Québec), the stories emphasize that valuing landscapes fosters community resilience. Cutting across history, fieldwork, and geography, "Landscapes of retreat" rethinks "change" as a shared pathway toward adaptive, collaborative climate futures. Winner of the 2024 J.B. Jackson Book Award from the Landscape Studies Initiative at the University of Virginia.

Résumé:
The Salton Sea is a man-made catastrophe, redolent with the smell of algae and decomposing fish. Nevertheless, the lake's vast, placid expanses continue to attract birdwatchers, tourists and artists. In Greetings from the Salton Sea, photographer Kim Stringfellow explores the history of California's largest lake from its disastrous beginnings—the "sea" was formed when Colorado River levees broke and spilled into a depression 280 feet below sea level—to its heyday as a desert paradise in the 1950s and its current state as an environmental battleground. Like the 400-plus species of birds that use the lake as a halfway point in their annual migration, developers flocked to the water too: they planted palm trees, built golf courses, and hired showstoppers such as the Beach Boys to perform at area resorts. These days, politicians seek to redirect the lake's only source of replenishment—agricultural runoff from surrounding farms—to water golf courses and green lawns elsewhere. Greetings from the Salton Sea's photographs capture the war among policymakers, environmentalists, developers, and the individuals still living along the lake's shores. As Stringfellow aptly documents, it is a war for water and, ultimately, for existence.
