Description

This thought-provoking book brings together a varied collection of material relating to projects on which landscape architect and planner Rosamunde Codling has worked, from a single field in East Anglia to a whole continent. The author argues that landscape belongs - is "common" - to us all. "Landscapes are for living in, and many of their components meet our material needs. But there is more - landscapes are part of our lives, places where values and emotions co-exist, giving us a different form of sustenance not met by other means." Among other subjects, she contemplates the link between landscape and history; the portrayal of landscape through art, poetry and even cigarette cards; landscapes that "surprise"; and landscapes beyond our own planet. Contains 65 colour and black & white illustrations. 170x245mm. 160pp
