Author Description

Landscape Is A Vital, Synergistic Concept Which Opens Up Ways Of Thinking About Many Of The Problems Which Beset Our Contemporary World, Such As Climate Change, Social Alienation, Environmental Degradation, Loss Of Biodiversity And Destruction Of Heritage. As A Concept, Landscape Does Not Respect Disciplinary Boundaries. Indeed, Many Academic Disciplines Have Found The Concept So Important, It Has Been Used As A Qualifier That Delineates Whole Sub-disciplines: Landscape Ecology, Landscape Planning, Landscape Archaeology, And So Forth.
