It inspires deep emotion, and is very popular, although its meanings are varied. This text follows the development of the several threads of the concept of landscape as they have evolved across disciplines and across countries.$bInspiring deep emotion, landscape carries many meanings. This book follows the development of several threads of the concept of landscape as they have evolved across disciplines and across countries, leading to the European Landscape Convention and the designation of cultural landscapes as World Heritage Sites. The book introduces the key notions of landscape, such as landscape as meaning, as picture, as scale, as scenery and as place. It also considers the various factors which influence the way in which landscape is perceived now and in the past, with all of the senses. Finally, it looks of the various ways of protecting, managing and enhancing the landscape, taking into account a future of climate change. - Beautifully illustrated and including 'capsules' in each section which provide fascinating insights into subjects from reading pictures, to mapping and GIS, through a discussion of the range of types of landscape to issues such as eco-museums, this book provides an excellent introductory overview for any students with an interest in the landscape around us. - 606 $aLandscape assessment 606 $aLandscapes$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aLandscape protection 606 $aCultural property$xProtection 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aNature (Aesthetics) 606 $aNational characteristics 615 0$aLandscape assessment. 615 0$aLandscapes 615 0$aLandscape protection. 615 0$aCultural property$xProtection. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aNature (Aesthetics) 615 0$aNational characteristics. 676 $a304.2 700 $aHoward$b Peter$f1944-,$01514559 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788475803321 996 $aAn introduction to landscape$93749768 997 $aUNINA
