Olmsted and Yosemite (Hardcover)
Language: English
Published by Library of American Landscape History, 2022
ISBN 10: 1952620341 ISBN 13: 9781952620348
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. How the work and writings of Frederick Law Olmsted, the founder of American landscape architecture, inspired the creation of parks to benefit the public. During the turbulent decade the United States engaged in a civil war, abolished slavery, and remade the government, the public park emerged as a product of these dramatic changes. New York's Central Park and Yosemite in California both embodied the "new birth of freedom" that had inspired the Union during its greatest crisis, epitomizing the duty of republican government to enhance the lives and well-being of all its citizens. A central thread connecting the apparently disparate phenomena of abolition, the Civil War, and the dawn of urban and national parks is the life of Frederick Law Olmsted. Before collaborating on the design of Central Park, Olmsted had traveled as a journalist through the Southern states and published firsthand accounts of the inhumane conditions he found there, arguing that slavery had become an insurmountable obstacle to national progress. In 1864, he was asked to prepare a plan for a park in Yosemite Valley, created by Congress to redefine and expand the privileges of American citizenship associated with Union victory. His groundbreaking Yosemite Report effectively created an intellectual framework for a national park system. Here Olmsted expressed the core tenet of the national park idea and park making generally: that the republic should provide its citizenry access to the restorative benefits of nature. His vision was realized with the passage in 1916 of legislation that created the National Park Service, drafted in large measure by Olmsted Jr. and based on the ideas and aspirations fully expressed fifty years earlier in his father's report. The National Park Service has been slow to embrace the senior Olmsted's role in this history. In the early twentieth century, a period of "reconciliation" between North and South, National Park Service administrators preferred more anodyne narratives of pristine Western landscapes discovered by rugged explorers and spontaneously reimagined as national parks. They wanted a history disassociated from urban parks and the problems of industrializing cities and unburdened by the legacies of slavery and Native American dispossession. Marking the bicentennial of Olmsted's birth, the forthcoming book sets the historical record straight as it offers a new interpretation of how the American park--urban and national--came to figure so prominently in our cultural identity, and why this more complex and inclusive story deserves to be told.

Thinking Person's Guide to America's National Parks (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by George Braziller Inc, New York, 2016
ISBN 10: 0807600199 ISBN 13: 9780807600191
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Published to coincide with the centennial of the founding of the USA's National Park Service, A Thinking Person's Guide to America's National Parks is a book for people interested in broadening and deepening their understanding of the full range of, and challenges facing, the national parks. This magnificent system includes the iconic western national parks like Yellowstone, Yosemite and the Grand Canyon; urban parks such as Golden Gate National Recreation Area in San Francisco and Gateway National Recreation Area in New York City; historic sites, including the Statue of Liberty National Monument and Gettysburg National Military Park; and cultural sites like New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park. The reader will learn about the vast array of programs offered by the National Park Service and affiliated organisations to educate the public about conservation and restoration. Containing twenty-three essays, with more than 300 colour illustrations, from contributing authors with deep personal and professional connections to the national parks, 'A Thinking Person's Guide' informs readers as to places in many parks where: Responses to climate change are being conceived and undertaken; Ideas such as "freedom," "civil rights" and "conservation" were borne and public memory of historic events is honoured; The balance between recreation and conservation, population pressure and preservation of nature is tested; Biodiversity is being preserved and the geological history can be seen; Partnerships between park managers and indigenous peoples are leading to more complete presentations of historical events; and Monuments and artefacts bearing witness to the US's economic, technological, and military history are on display. AUTHOR: The book is edited by Robert Manning, a professor of Environmental Studies at the University of Vermont; Rolf Diamant and Nora Mitchell, who spent careers with the National Park Service and are now adjunct professors at the University of Vermont; and David Harmon, executive director of the George Wright Society. 300 colour On the centennial of the National Park Service, this richly illustrated book offers invaluable advice on exploring America's national park system.
