Reviews
'The Right to Landscape promises to transform "landscape" from a concept in cultural geography and landscape architecture to a concept indispensable to the probing of human nature and human well-being, drawing on and cross-fertilizing such diverse fields as the study of nature, history, anthropology, psychology, politics, and law.' Yi-Fu Tuan, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA 'This book is motivating and inspiring. Although academic, the writing is clear and fluent. It redefines landscape as a vital public good, and the issues addressed are relevant to us wherever we live or work.' Garden Design Journal 'This is one of the most innovative books in the area of multidisciplinary environmental sciences that I have read in recent years. It explores a wide range of topics that include urban, ethical, legal environmental, political and art related themes. It situates landscapes in a multidisciplinary and holistic context. As such, it inspires a diversity of ideas and conceptual interpretations. It offers both fundamental-academic and applied-managerial anchor points. This book should be compulsory background reading for postgraduate students in geography and human ecology. It is an inspiring text for environmentalists and decision makers on landscape and nature conservation. It contributes to a most tempting and legitimate widening of the environmental discourse.' International Journal of Environment and Pollution
