We all know what "the political landscape" is, and politicians and
journalists never tire of referring to it. But in this ingenious
and original book, Martin Warnke takes that well-worn metaphor
literally and uses it to reveal just how politicized the real
landscape of continental Europe has been for centuries. The author
finds his evidence of humanity's intervention in nature in the form
of monuments and milestones, gardens, roads and border crossings,
in landscape paintings and maps - even, in fact, in the
anthropomorphic interpretations once given to formations of hills
and rocks.
"The Political Landscape" is underpinned with a fascinating array
of examples and illustrations, many of which will be new even to
experts in the art of landscape and related disciplines.
