Reviews
'Howard provides ample insight into the complexities and contradictions of landscape, for designers in the role of enhancers, to invest their practices with new creative approaches from an informed contemporary perspective.' Garden Design Journal 'In the Aotearoa context it would be an excellent introductory text for students of landscape in any discipline, and equally would be highly informative for anyone who would like an introduction to the 'richness of the present confusion' (p.1) in landscape studies. Howard's very accessible book can help us all better understand the landscapes we love, why we love them and why others might care differently about them.' New Zealand Geographer 'An Introduction to landscape attempts to cover a vast interdisciplinary maze with erudition; and many readers, both students of landscape-related disciplines and the general reader who is seeking to better understand the physical world around them and how it has been represented, will find many thought provoking and stimulating ideas here.' Australian Archaeology
