This edition published in the Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2005.
Book Description,
The contents are potentially ‘difficult’ in that they draw on a range of disciplines—including ecology, economics, philosophy— and professional areas—including land-use planning, landscape planning, design and management, horticulture, agriculture, forestry, politics and policy—which, depending on your disciplinary naïveté or illiteracy, may mean careful reading is needed in places to follow sometimes complex and challenging ideas, analyses and proposals.
If your first interest is in landscape or landscape architecture, the ‘territory here will be familiar, even if the scale and scope of our conception of landscape are broader than you previously imagined, or if your previous contact with sustainability has been cursory or frustrating. If it is in sustainability from a quite different disciplinary perspective, the contents of the book will offer you new insights into a contested and some say overworked topic, and may change the way you think about what sustainability is or what it could become. If it is primarily neither of these, we still believe the subjects are in themselves important, and the treatment here accessible with effort, to be of interest to a wide range of students, academics, policy-makers and practitioners.
