This extremely interesting anthology contains 14 landscopes--different views of space, place, and landscape. Approaching their topics from various angles, as they wrestle with the effects of urban living and draw on history, mythology, and the arts to illustrate their points, the authors show that we speak in words, but think in space. Essays include: “The Overexposed City,” “Smallholdings and Great Expectations,” “Dreams of Town and Country,” “Paradise Lost and Regained,” “Landscape, Landskap, and the Body,” and more.
