Making Educated Decisions. A Landscape Preservation Bibliography. 2

摘要

Over the past two decades, and most recently since the publication of the firstedition of Making Educated Decisions: A Landscape Preservation Bibliography by the National Park Service Historic Landscape initiative, the field of landscape preservation has witnessed a surge in project work and scholarly writing. These recent advancements have further fueled creative practices in landscape architecture, planning, geography, ethnography, historic preservation, archaeology and American history studies, and can be measured by the increased number of technical publications, journal articles, published conference proceedings and even the first books dedicated to specific aspects of the subject. The topic of landscape preservation and cultural landscapes now appears in more popular magazines such as Preservation, landscape Architecture, Landscape Design, and Garden Design, among others. This annotated bibliography however, focuses on the former, namely those projects that mirror the National Park Service's mission emphasizing 'a wise use of our land, (and) preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places.'
