Chen's thinking reaches a clarity that is inspiring and practical...This book is for philosophers, architects, landscape architects, artists who seeking to differentiate kinds of beauty (e.g., natural, artistic, and environmental), and community activists who work to save landscapes and historical sites. Chen's references to Chinese shanshui painting and the inclusion of many images in black and white will interest students of world culture and the history of Asian art. This book will benefit all who seek to balance the advantages of science and new technologies with a spiritual well-being that comes from cultivating an intimate unity with the natural environment.
