Approaches to Landscape

"Approaches to Landscape introduces and explores the main perspectives in this increasingly popular field of study. The book ranges widely across disciplines, tracing the evolution of ideas about landscape and the contributions of, among others, landscape historians, landscape archaeologists, human geographers, psychologists, art historians and political scientists. The author pays particular attention to the divergence of approaches between those who apply technical expertise to investigating the development of human-made landscapes and those who are concerned with landscape in its subjective role." "Written in an accessible style and illustrated throughout with relevant photographs, maps and diagrams, Approaches to Landscape will be a standard text for students of landscape, geography, archaeology and local history, but will also appeal to anyone interested in the interaction between humans and the landscape."--Jacket.
