"In the lexicon of garden and landscape architecture, Professor Meto J. Vroom gets to the heart of over 250 key landscape concepts. Through definition, illustration and reference to the essential literature, he delineates and expands the theoretical framework of his discipline, thereby opening a fascinating gateway towards understanding change in our urban and rural landscapes. This work will prove an indispensable point of reference for all those involved in landscape architecture - practitioners and amateurs alike."--Jacket.
