Condition: Very Good. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 310 pages. John Evelyn (1620?1706), an English virtuoso and writer, was a pivotal figure in seventeenth-century intellectual life in England. He left an immensely rich literary heritage, which is of great significance for scholars interested in garden history and the histories of intellectual life and architecture. Evelyn is perhaps best known for Sylva, a compilation of thoughts on practical estate management, gardening, and philosophy, and the first book published by the Royal Society in London. As one of the group of learned men who founded the Royal Society in 1660 to promote scientific research, discussion, and publications, John Evelyn was at the center of many of the vital intellectual currents of the time. ?Elysium Britannicum,? Evelyn?s unpublished manuscript of almost a thousand pages of densely packed drafts, rewrites, and projects, was perhaps something of an enigma to his contemporaries, who nevertheless urged its publication. It remains for scholars today a treasure-trove of fascinating insights on Evelyn and his milieu. Clean copy. Record # 386767.

Condition: as new. Washington : National Gallery of Art, 2015. Hardcover. Dustjacket. xii, 333 pp. illustrations (some color), maps ; 29 cm. (Studies in the history of art (Washington, D.C.), 78; Studies in the history of art (Washington, D.C.)., Symposium papers, 55 ). -- In the period from 1890 to 1940, landscape architects organized as a profession distinct from art and architecture, bringing to the fore a variety of theories and aspirations to influence urban growth, reinforce national identity, and shape land conservation and land-use planning, among other goals in response to challenges posed by rapid change. The twelve essays included in this exceptional volume grapple with the definition and significance of modernism in landscape design during this transformative era. An international roster of leading landscape historians discuss established and less recognized designers, such as Maria Teresa Parpagliolo, who sought to define the modern Italian garden, or Benito Javier Carrasco, who made recreational green space a public amenity in Buenos Aires.
