This book will provide a new perspective on the way we garden, why
we garden and what it means for us. Full of fascinating characters
and vignettes - from ancient Greeks to suffragettes, from eccentric
military men to Catholics in hiding from persecution - The Pursuit
of Paradise looks into how society's changes have altered our views
of gardening, who does it, and how we do it. What drives people to
risk their lives in search of a rare Himalayan flower? Why are so
many gardeners homosexual? How did gardening become a respectable
career for women? When did looking at other people's gardens become
a national British pastime? Using particular gardens to lead into
themes like power, refuge, female emancipation, distribution of
wealth and fashion, Jane Brown presents a history of the nation
through its most popular national pursuit. It will be essential
reading for the horticulturally impassioned for years to come.

Site, Sight, Insight presents twelve essays by John Dixon Hunt, the
leading theorist and historian of landscape architecture. The
collection's common theme is a focus on sites, how we see them and
what we derive from that looking. Acknowledging that even the most
modest landscape encounter has validity, Hunt contends that the
more one knows about a site and one's own sight of it (an awareness
of how one is seeing), the greater the insight. Employing the
concepts, tropes, and rhetorical methods of literary analysis, he
addresses the problem of how to discuss, understand, and appreciate
places that are experienced through all the senses, over time and
through space. Hunt questions our intellectual and aesthetic
understanding of gardens and designed landscapes and asks how these
sites affect us emotionally. Do gardens have meaning? When we visit
a fine garden or designed landscape, we experience a unique work of
great complexity in purpose, which has been executed over a number
of years-a work that, occasionally, achieves beauty. While direct
experience is fundamental, Hunt demonstrates how the ways in which
gardens and landscapes are communicated in word and image can be
equally important. He returns frequently to a cluster of key sites
and writings on which he has based much of his thinking about
garden-making and its role in landscape architecture: the gardens
of Rousham in Oxfordshire; Thomas Whately's Observations on Modern
Gardening (1770); William Gilpin's dialogues on Stowe (1747);
Alexander Pope's meditation on genius loci; the Desert de Retz;
Paolo Burgi's Cardada; and the designs by Bernard Lassus and Ian
Hamilton Finlay.
