Landscape Architecture and Environmental Sustainability Reviews

An essential text for both students and practitioners in the profession alike ... This book will have a far-reaching influence on the profession, as well as being an excellent introduction to the scope of the discipline for students of landscape architecture. * Australian Institute of Landscape Architects *
The book is the first of its kind, a text which pulls together the key drivers and contextual issues that underpin our thinking and approaches to sustainable landscape design. This is a must read for all students embarking on any form of environmental design, it will make them think more widely and in a more holistic way. -- David Booth, University of Gloucestershire, UK
It's a tour de force, very impressive and a clarion call. I am certain it will have lasting influence for landscape architecture students. It recalls for me the Jellicoes' Landscape of Man in the way that book captured a generation, and still does. -- Damien Mugavin, Professor Emeritus, Seoul National University
This book makes us aware of the damage we can do to our world and how we can rectify it. It shows us some brilliant examples from around the world of what has been done to get the balance between man and nature correct. It is certainly an amazing book containing a wealth of information, and hopefully it will be read by many, and in particular local governments. -- Richard and Lyn Woldendorp, Australia
Highly Commended -- 2018 Landscape Institute Awards * UK *
