Reviews for Campus Landscape
"The extensive use of illustrations including landscape master plans, elevation views, and landscape symbols, as well as the numerous photographs makes this a valuable reference. The text discusses campus landscapes by providing a historical overview of many aspects related to their development. The text also provides insight on how these landscapes will be influenced in the future by social, economic, and environmental issues." (NACTA Journal, May 2002)
