Reviews

A Modern Arcadia illuminates the fascinating intersection of social and aesthetic reform movements in the Progressive Era, as well as the early career of a prolific and influential planner and landscape architect. - David Glassberg, author of Sense of History: The Place of the Past in American Life Forest Hills Gardens has been little studied by modern historians. Everyone knows of it, but the details of its planning and development are not readily available. The scholarship in this work is exceptionally thorough, clearly the result of lengthy research. A Modern Arcadia will make a significant contribution to the fields of landscape and planning history. - Cynthia Zaitzevsky, author of Frederick Law Olmsted and the Boston Park System
