THE ESSENTIAL LANDSCAPE

Steven A. Yates (Editor), J.B. Jackson
Hardcover: 147 pages
Publisher: University of New Mexico Press; 1st edition (1985)
ISBN: 0-8263-0784-1


"If we are again to learn how to respond emotionally and aesthetically and morally to the landscape, we must find a metaphor—or several metaphors—drawn from our human experience...We can best rely on the insights of the geographer and the photographer and the philosopher. They are the most trustworthy custodians of the human tradition; for they seek to discover order within randomness, beauty within chaos, and the enduring aspirations of mankind behind blunders and failures." - John B. Jackson
