Customer Reviews

Good Picture Book

There are some good landscape work. Nothing really extraordinary or really radical as you would expect from the title, but still a book with good ideas to inspire.

Gardens Illustrated Review

From the Feb. 2002 issue of Gardens Illustrated magazine:"...the book is a compelling and beautifully written discussion on contemporary landscape design. A book about any other field of design would probably not include the rather self-conscious word "radical" in the title, but its use here is indicative of the generally reactionary nature of most open space design... there are a few valient souls out there trying to change this state of affairs, and this book chronicles some of the best...Amidon writes, 'Among the creators of radical landscapes it is difficult to find common threads,' but her strategy is broadly successful in organizing this diverse selection of landscape designers and their work."
