It is a book to be deeply cherished and to be read and pondered many times.Wilbur Zelinsky, LandscapeWhile it is fashionable to speak of man as alienated from his environment, Mr. Jackson shows us all the ties that bind us to it, consciously or unconsciously. He teaches us to speak intelligentlyrather than polemically or wistfullyof the sense of place.Anatole Broyard, New York TimesThis book is a vital and seminal text: do beg, borrow or buy it.Robert Holden, Landscape Design (London)Incisive and overpoweringly influential. It will probably tell you something about how you live that youve never thought about.Thomas Hine, The Philadelphia InquirerNo one can come close to Jackson in his unique combination of historical scholarship and field experience, in his deep knowledge of European high culture as well as of American trailer parks, in his archivists nose for the unusual fact and his philosophers mind for the trenchant, surprising question.YiFu Tuan
