    LANDSCAPE OF MAN

    - By Geoffrey and Susan Jellicoe

    The book comprises of two parts. Part I ranging from prehistory to 1700
    AD talking about the Central civilization from Islamic influence on
    Western Asia, Spain and Mughal India, eastern civilization from India,
    China, Japan and Pre-Columbian America and western civilization from
    Egypt, Greek and Roman empire to the renaissance, baroque
    ideologies. While part II discusses from 1700 AD to 1975 discusses
    Western Classicism, Chinese and English school of thought till the
    twentieth century Europe, America and Eastern Hemisphere.

    The success of the book lies in the fact that it establishes landscape in
    terms of its context as much in content. It makes us look at structures like
    pyramids not in isolation but as a part of the larger whole including the
    the temple complex and the river which sets the situationality of the
    structure. The book relates landscape to people and environment.
    It traces back to the prehistoric cavemen and evolution of landscape
    through agriculture that was born out of necessity for aesthetics and
    science. And hence the modification of their relationship henceforth.

    The second part of the book talks about the growth of modern
    landscape design as deviated from the old and vernacular approach
    to a more non conservative approach to planning. Landscape began
    to be identified as a part of planning as opposed to architecture
    exclusively. This was when the landscape architects of began to play
    evolutionary roles in social context to bring about the reflection of
    nature into the concrete jungles of their times.
