The Genius of the Place by John Dixon Hunt
A garden classic, The Genius of the Place reveals that the history of landscape gardening is much more than a history of design and style; it opens up a wide perspective of English cultural history, showing how landscape gardening was gradually transformed over two centuries into an art that has been widely imitated throughout Europe and North America. The English landscape garden is richly documented in this anthology. Over 100 illustrations accompany writings that range from Francis Bacon to Jane Austin; from the early 1600s, when Englishmen began to determine their own concept and form of the garden, through the first half of the eighteenth century when its distinctive feature emerged, to the heyday of the landscape garden under Capability Brown and the reactions to his pure formalism under Repton and Loudon in the 1800s. This edition contains a new introduction and bibliography covering the many developments in garden history during the last dozen years.Peter Willis joined BT in 1988 after obtaining an MEng in Electronic Systems Engineering from the University of York. His early work in distributed computing included the development of an ISDN IP router and the design of BTnet's first public Internet network, BTnet. He installed on of BTnet's first two PoP's in August 1994. He moved on to become the network manager for BTnet from the BT Network Operations Centre. He saw a huge growth of the BTnet team in the period from 1994 to 1998 and an expansion in IP services. Over this period, as well as growing, operating and fixing the network, he developed some unique network management tools. In 1998 he returned to Adastral Park and ensured the lessons learned form designing and operating IP networks since 1993 were applied to BT's and Concert's designs, new emerging protocols, and architectures. He now works for BTexact Technologies, BT's advanced communication technologies business, providing consultancy and strategic analysis on all aspects of IP networks.
