Synopsis
This is a series of essays about the ways in which landscape is constructed, managed and designed. The essays attempt a synthesis that ranges from the physical and biophysical through land use to perception and cultural and linguistic analysis. The landscapes of Australia are challenging in that its culture, essentially European in origin, is both immensely enriching yet, because generated in an environment vastly different from that of Australia, disabling. This requires a dual allegiance and competing loyalties and demands, often difficult to resolve.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This is an extraordinary collection of essays about landscape. With a lively and engaging style, George Seddon considers everything from creating a garden in Fremantle, to locating ancient plants while wandering in a Far North Queensland rainforest to analysing the geological features on either side of the tram tracks in Collingwood. Yet while the book celebrates Australia, and covers many topics that seem familiar and everyday, it is challenging and provocative. Seddon is acutely aware of the moral and environmental aspects of history and is able to present local and regional history on a grand scale. Landprints reflects a lifetime devoted to questions about landscape: the ways we use and abuse the land, how Australian landscapes are different from European landscapes and how this land makes those who live on it uniquely, if ambiguously, Australian. This collection of essays encompasses 25 years of scholarship. Seddon looks at the ways in which landscape is constructed, managed and designed. He highlights the tension inherent in applying largely European values to the Australian land. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
