'Landscape Professional Practice is a long awaited book giving true up-to-date information about the nitty-gritty of professional practice. This is a must-read book for all pre-pathway to chartership students and young professionals, both for confidence in practice and in passing the pathway exam. The book will fill in many essential knowledge gaps for these graduates to fast track them to CMLI status. This is desperately needed, because there are far too few landscape professionals, and more books like this will help to at least fast track the few new professionals and future stars of landscape design to become contributing, and productive members of the profession more quickly. The book is well laid out and an excellent reference. I will be buying one and urging all my staff to do so too.' James Blake, James Blake Associates, UK 'Just as Hugh Clamp's Landscape Professional Practice was a must have , must study , must refer to professional reference of the late twentieth century, so Gordon Fraser's new reference will be the favoured reference of the early twenty-first century. This book will be an important reference guide for many years to come, helping to identify, clarify and elucidate many of the fundamental elements of professional practice for landscape architects not only in the UK but around the world.' Nigel Thorne, Consultant Landscape Architect/Specialist Landscape Manager, UK 'It is unique to find a book that offers such a wide range of professional and business performance topics, and relate them to a particular profession. Gordon, with his unique professional background, has achieved this with Landscape Professional Practice. The aims of chapters are clearly presented, and the breadth of experience is impressive, covering business management concepts, professional ethics, negligence, and a range of other subjects of importance to landscape professionals. I hope many professionals will benefit from the knowledge and experience this publication has to offer.' Chris Sheridan, Landscape Institute, UK
