Landscape and Power Synopsis

The classic, groundbreaking work that reshaped landscape studies and continues to guide the field today

The first edition of this book, published in 1994, reshaped the direction of landscape studies by considering landscape not simply as an object to be seen or a text to be read, but as an instrument of cultural force, a central tool in the creation of national and social identities. This second edition adds not only a new preface, but five new essays-from Edward Said, W. J. T. Mitchell, Jonathan Bordo, Michael Taussig, and Robert Pogue Harrison-extending the scope of the book in remarkable ways.

Landscape and Power continues to be a central text for students and scholars who want to understand the importance of landscape to the making of our social, political, and cultural world.
