Visual Communication for Landscape Architecture looks great. I am going to put it on the books for the office list and think it would be really useful to bridge the gap between our landscape architects and our technicians, which is always a challenging part of a multi-disciplinary practice. * Helen Smith, Technical Manager, Landscape Architecture *
A rather excellent book arrived at our office today, which we have all thoroughly enjoyed looking at! Visual Communication for Landscape Architecture looks incredible, and a great resource for us in practice, let alone students.

Visual Communication for Landscape Architecture looks fantastic - I am very proud to be part of it! Bang on trend, current yet nodding to a bit of the Repton and Halprin. It's very cool and accessible - I also find the size very pleasing! The authors should be very happy with the end result - so much work obviously went into its creation. I am soon to give a presentation and the book will definitely be one of my props. * Hudson De Maeijer, Landscapes and Gardens *
What a wonderful book to aid students, it is very informative and so well presented. * Lady Arabella Lennox-Boyd, Arabella Lennox-Boyd Landscape and Architectural Design *
