Description
"In Forest and Garden, Melanie L. Simo ranges through the underexamined period of landscape history between Olmsted and mid-twentieth-century modernism, when the contours of the wildness debate were formed and the landscape professions came of age. Simo's book spans half a century, from the year that Charles Sprague Sargent's influential Garden and Forest magazine first ceased publication in 1897 to the appearance in 1949 of two unusual books about land and landscape - Aldo Leopold's Sand County Almanac and Jens Jensen's The Clearing - that marked the beginning of a new ecological awareness."--BOOK JACKET.
