This book and accompanying CD-ROM of some of the greatest accomplishments in the
development of landscape architecture in Western Europe will be a welcome
addition to any landscape designer's library. These two resources combine
discussions of essential ideas about remarkable gardens, parks and piazzas with
a collection of captioned photos arranged as tours through the settings. This,
along with the presentation of several garden examples for each period, enables
the designer to easily visualize the development of these historic landscape
creations and apply those design principles to contemporary design.
