The first major monograph on the most important international landscape architect of the twentieth century.
Frederick Law Olmsted
by Paul Rocheleau
A man of passionate vision and drive, Frederick Law Olmsted defined and named the profession of landscape architecture and designed America's most beloved parks and landscapes of the past century New York's Central Park, Brooklyn's Prospect Park, the U.S. Capitol grounds, the Biltmore Estate, and many others. During a remarkable forty year career that began in the mid 1800s, Olmsted created the first park systems, urban greenways, and planned suburban residential communities in this country. He was a pivotal figure in the movement to create and preserve natural parks such as Yosemite, Yellowstone, and Niagara Falls. He also contributed to the design of many academic campuses, including Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. Today there is a resurgence of interest in Olmsted's work and legacy in both the United States and Europe. This timely volume presents the breadth of Olmsted's work in beautiful color photographs by Paul Rocheleau and Illuminates Olmsted's role as an indefatigable administrator and social reformer. Olmsted's career reflected a deep concern for fostering community and using the restorative effects of natural scenery to counteract the debilitating forces of the modern city.
The Earth Knows My Name

Both
by Douglas Crase
Both is the enchanting account of a remarkable fifty-year relationship: Dwight Ripley, the child heir to an American railroad fortune, and Rupert Barneby, the product of a wealthy, baronial English upbringing, shared an obsession with botany from the moment they met at an exclusive boys’ boarding school in England. Together they embarked on a lifelong pursuit of rare plants, first in Europe and then in the United States, where they migrated in the late 1930s. Every spring they explored the American Southwest in a sputtering Dodge, discovering new species and cultivating the spoils at their renowned home gardens. Barneby published so many taxonomic findings that he became a world authority on legumes. But the two men had other interests as well: they were intimates in the expatriate circles that included W. H. Auden and Peggy Guggenheim, and early collectors of painters such as Jackson Pollock and Joan Miró. Ripley, a prescient artist himself, whose startling work in colored pencil was lost in a trunk for several decades before being rediscovered, used his fortune to bankroll much of the avant-garde art scene of the early 1950s. The lives of Ripley and Barneby were shaped by a passion for knowing the world in all its lush particulars. Douglas Crase, who received an education in character when he came to know Barneby in the 1970s, offers us not just the brilliantly told story of “both,” but a vivid portrait of the bohemian postwar period they inhabited, bristling with the energy of the new.

Charles Bridgeman and the English Landscape Garden
Willis, Peter ( Editor )
Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom: Elysium Press, 2002 pp. xxi., 532 including 247 pages of plates. A reprint of the original Zwemmer 1977 edition, with a catalogue of new material, and new illustrations. Charles Bridgeman (died 1738) was a key figure in the establishment of "le jardin anglais", that remarkable English invention which was to sweep 18th-century Europe. Bridgeman's role in the transition from the geometric layouts of the early 1700s to the freer designs of Capability Brown was a crucial one. His activities as Royal Gardener to George II and Queen Caroline embraced Hampton Court, Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park and Richmond, while for private patrons he was active at Claremont, Eastbury, Wimpole, Marble Hill and a host of other country houses. A collaborator with Vanbrugh, Gibbs and Kent, and a friend of writers and artists, Bridgeman reached the peak of his career in the creation of Stowe in Buckinghamshire, the most celebrated landscape of the day. Peter Willis's pioneering biography of Charles Bridgeman, originally published in 1977 by A. Zwemmer Ltd in their distinguished "Studies in Architecture" series, drew on fresh documentary evidence to place Bridgeman securely in the context of contemporary changes in taste. The first edition of 1000 copies has long been out of print.. Reprint. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. ( more information) Offered by Stephen Foster Books (United Kingdom)
