Reviews
Shaping the Postwar Landscape...brings the Pioneers of American Landscape Design series closer to the present by featuring around 75 landscape architects, educators, architects, and artists who have shaped the American landscape over the last half-century. Although considerably slimmer than the previous two books...the new book is just as thorough with its biographical and bibliographical information on important practitioners. --A Daily Dose of Architecture Books [A]n excellent resource for anyone interested in American landscape design's roots.... As founder and CEO of the Cultural Landscape Foundation, few individuals have done more to increase awareness of American landscape design than Birnbaum. His crusade has produced the sort of work that edifies and anchors a discipline, work that should not be taken for granted. --ASLA's The Dirt Shaping the Post-War Landscape represents a significant contribution to the body of literature on landscape architecture and to the scholarly writings on design of the Modern era in general.... This book offers critical information for those of us who seek to identify and protect the best examples of our Modern heritage and allows us all to be better informed while we still have a chance to make a difference. It will stay at the top of my favorites list long after it is no longer new and I'm certain it will be used regularly. I've been waiting for it for such a long time. --Docomomo
