Ossian Cole Simonds : Landscape-Gardening before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Landscape-Gardening:

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Very pleasedBy Audrey EatonI was very pleased with the book that I ordered.It arrived quickly and was in the condition that was said.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

"With the increasing interest in ecological restoration, sustainable design, and the use of native plants for landscape and gardens alike, it is particularly timely to have a new edition of this seminal volume by O. C. Simonds. Landscape- Gardening will appeal to both professionals and dedicated homeowners for its eloquent promotion of nature and native landscaping, and its fervent call for a greater stewardship of the land."?Robert Cook, director, Arnold ArboretumFrom the Inside FlapOssian Cole Simonds (1855-1931) was one of the country's earliest and most important landscape architects, the progenitor of the "middle-western movement" of landscape design. He laid out college campuses, arboretums, estates, parks, and the much admired in . He was also an influential teacher, author, and founder of university programs in , and the only midwesterner among the eleven charter members of the American Society of Landscape Architects.First published in 1920, Landscape-Gardening presents Simonds's carefully conceived and still timely ideas about an approach to landscape design in which nature is both partner and model. In eighteen well-illustrated chapters, he addresses the design of many different types of landscapes -- from residences to parks to school grounds -- and recommends an approach based on respect for natural systems and acceptance of stewardship responsibility.Many of Simonds's ideas were remarkably prescient. He encouraged the use of native plants; he called for the protection of land for aesthetic as well as utilitarian reasons; he championed interconnected park and boulevard systems or "greenways"; he encouraged the planting of "nature gardens"; and he proposed thoughtful solutions to the increasingly ragged edges of early twentieth-century cities, warning of sprawl long before the word was invented.Simonds wrote his book in response to what he saw as alarming changes in the American landscape. Through it, he hoped to teach both professional and general audiences how to read the natural landscape, and to respect and protect its beauty while creating ever more harmonious places in which to live.Thisreprint edition includes a new introduction by Robert E. Grese, which places Simonds's gracefully written text in historical perspective, elucidating many of the broad themes of the profession's early years.About the AuthorRobert E. Grese is associate professor of landscape architecture at the , Ann Arbor, and director of the Nichols Arboretum.
