From small gardens to megacities, humans have always molded their environment to express or symbolize ideas---power, order, comfort, harmony, pleasure, and mystery, to name a few. In 1975, authors Geoffrey and Susan Jellicoe linked these ideas together to demonstrate that they are manifestations of a single, innate process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors examined human-created spaces from ancient Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome, the Muslim world, medieval Europe, India, China, Japan, pre-- Columbian America, and the post-Renaissance West in all its phases, as well as planning and landscape architecture from the mid-- to late twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a new introduction and final chapter by internationally respected landscape critic Tim Richardson, this edition explores modernism to postmodernism, post--industrialism to large-scale urban planning in China and elsewhere, before ending with small--scale healing and community gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRedesigned throughout with a contemporary look and feel, and illustrated in full color, this valuable resource to landscape architecture is made available to a new generation of readers interested in uncovering the history of our built environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumans have always shaped their surroundings, leaving architectural footprints in their wake. But what forms have these markers taken, and why? Angkor Wat sits differently from the temples of Kyoto, and the gardens of Versailles are a world away from Central Park. What can each tell us about the civilizations that created them, and vice versa?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo qualify as a \"landscape of man,\" an environment must be deliberately shaped at a specific time. Taking twenty-eight \"cultures,\" Geoffrey and Susan Jellicoe first dig into the social and intellectual background of each, then describe how this expressed itself in terms of landscape, with striking visuals, maps, and original plans to illustrate the discussion. The ground covered includes ancient Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome, the Middle East, medieval Europe, India, China, Japan, pre-Columbian America, and the post-Renaissance West in all its phases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete with full-color photography throughout for the first time, \u003cem\u003eThe Landscape of Man\u003c\/em\u003e has been revised and updated for the next generation of readers.
