From small gardens to megacities, humans have always molded their environment to express or symbolize ideas—­power, order, comfort, harmony, pleasure, and mystery, to name a few. In 1975, authors Geoffrey and Susan Jellicoe linked these ideas together to demonstrate that they are manifestations of a single, innate process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors examined human-created spaces from ancient Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome, the Muslim world, medieval Europe, India, China, Japan, pre-­ Columbian America, and the post-Renaissance West in all its phases, as well as planning and landscape architecture from the mid-­ to late twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a new introduction and final chapter by internationally respected landscape critic Tim Richardson, this edition explores modernism to postmodernism, post-­industrialism to large-scale urban planning in China and elsewhere, before ending with small-­scale healing and community gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRedesigned throughout with a contemporary look and feel, and illustrated in full color, this valuable resource to landscape architecture is made available to a new generation of readers interested in uncovering the history of our built environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeoffrey Jellicoe\u003c\/b\u003e (1900–­1996) was an English architect, town planner, landscape architect, garden designer, landscape and garden historian, lecturer, and author of numerous books.
