In Gardens in Perspective Jerry Harpur's exceptional photographs of the world's most exciting and ground-breaking gardens not only evoke the unique atmosphere of each garden but provide garden owners with a rich visual source of imaginative and inspirational ideas that they can adapt or use for their own gardens. Divided into thematic chapters of garden according to their designer or owner's concept or inspiration - formal, exotic, minimal, natural, plant dominated, fantastic or dominated by art - the essence of each garden is captured through an informative and evocative text.

Every chapter is packed full with private and public gardens, many of them designed by the world's most influential modern landscape and garden designers - including Roberto Burle Marx (Brazil), Thomas Church (USA), Fletcher Steele (USA), Pierre Clement (France) Topher Delaney (USA), Jacques Wirtz (Belgium), Shunmyo Masuno (Japan), Vladimir Sitta (Australia), Martha Schwartz (USA), Steve Martino (USA), Fernando Caruncho (Spain), Oehme and van Sweden (USA), Piet Oudolf (Netherlands), Penelope Hobhouse (UK), Dan Kiley (USA), Patrick Blanc (France), Christopher Lloyd (UK), Ulf Nordfjell (Sweden), and Mien Ruys (Netherlands).

230 full-color photographs

Ambitious in scope and a wonder to examine, Gardens in Time captures two millennia of garden history between its covers. The follow-up to world-renowned photographer Alain Le Toquin's successful The Most Beautiful Gardens in the World, Gardens in Time contains lush and glorious photographs of the nearly 130 gardens that Le Toquin explored across 20 countries--the most comprehensive garden photo documentary ever undertaken by a single photographer. From the Roman gardens at Hadrian's villa to the modern work of landscape gardeners like Fernando Caruncho, the Wirtzes, and Robert Irwin, historical and contemporary gardens are showcased. All are complemented by Jacques Bosser's informative text, which reveals the evolutions, transformations, influences, and trends that characterize these beautiful landscapes, putting into context their aesthetic appeal, both then and now.

This inspirational book is an illustrated survey of more than 60 major gardens in Italy, from the lakes north of Milan down to Ravello in the south. They include the Villa Balbianello, Isola Bella, Giardini Giusti, Villa Medici, Villa Gamberaia, La Mortella, Villa Lante, Villa d'Este, Giardini di Ninfa, plus some important modern gardens. All the gardens featured are open to the public.

Nicknamed ‘the rose among the palms’, the thousand-year-old city of Marrakesh is characterised by its pink-coloured pisé architecture and its deeply rooted tradition for gardens and green spaces.

The majority of historic sites are inextricable from their gardens – or indeed are historic green spaces: the huge royal orchard pleasure-gardens of the Agdal were described by Monty Don as ‘of international cultural importance on a par with Versailles or Villa d’Este’.

Scores of traditional riads and hotels like the Mamounia, created by the French in 1923 on the site of an eighteenth-century royal residence, offer splendid gardens to the visitor. Yves Saint Laurent’s Majorelle garden is an icon of modern garden design.

The first book to be published on this fascinating subject, Gardens of Marrakesh champions the city’s relevance today in a world of water scarcity and urban development and explores its green heritage, considering some twenty gardens both from an historic and cultural perspective.

The Loire Valley is generally thought of as a place for history and culture. Everybody remembers visiting at least one of its historical buildings. In fact, the region is internationally famous for its many significant heritage locations. Yet this inevitable image conceals a very wide variety of places, some of them much less well known to the general public. How better to discover or rediscover gardens than to see them through the seasons, from spring, summer, autumn and winter.

This stunning book, beautifully illustrated throughout, is one of the most attractive and informative books on the subject. The author's knowledgeable approach and delightful writing style will allow readers to share these places as if they were the gardeners there. As to the photographers, they have used their patience and talent to produce a subtle display of gardening perfection, secrets and magic.

Why have the peoples of the world made pleasure gardens, and why have they made them in such different styles? All pleasure gardens derive their design inspiration from one of the world's six great gardening traditions - the Italian, the Islamic, the Chinese, the Japanese, the English flower garden, and the English park - and it is these that are the subject of this book.

There are, of course, other countries where there is an individual style of gardening, but in all cases the roots of that style can be traced back to one of the great traditions. Rory Stuart has travelled from Buenos Aires to Vancouver, from Seattle to Cape Cod; from Ireland to India; to China, Japan and Australia, trying to understand the differences in garden styles and to account for them, approaching pleasure gardens as works of art, and placing them in their historical and cultural context.

One of the most important aspects of garden design has always been the relationship between a garden and its surrounding landscape.

This book looks at the way in which today's leading garden and landscape designers have concealed boundaries, disguised edges or brought "nature" up to the house, in order to link private gardens to the landscape beyond.

With small urban gardens, designers have also invented trompe l'oeil effects to make cramped spaces look larger, while other designers have devised new ways of mimicking nature, and land artists have "adopted" the existing landscape and created gardens as temporary events. Including examples of gardens from all over the world, this book challenges preconceptions of contemporary garden design as well as providing ideas and inspiration for any gardener.

This is the first book in over two decades devoted to the most important garden designer of the twentieth century.

Gertrude Jekyll (1843–1932) laid the basis for modern garden design and is credited with popularizing an informal, naturalistic look in counterpoint to the rigid, formal landscapes of the Victorian era. Her collaboration with Edwin Lutyens produced seminal garden masterpieces of the Arts & Crafts movement, including Hestercombe and Folly Farm.

Also known as a prolific and influential writer, Jekyll contributed more than a hundred articles to Country Life and designed three gardens for the publication’s founder, Edward Hudson. As a result, the Country Life archive has an unrivalled record of her work.

This book includes a combination of both archival black-and-white and contemporary colour photographs highlighting a selection of the more than 350 gardens Jekyll created.

The book is organized in four sections and then concludes with an extensive bibliography and index.

Introduction: Biographical overview: family, training, early influences, travel, homes; Accomplishments as an artist, gardener, designer, and writer; Circle of friends: artists, gardeners, architects, and writers; importance of their personal gardens, such as Gravetye Manor and Warley Place; Relationship with Country Life, Hudson, E. T. Cook, Robinson, Tipping, Weaver, Hussey; Importance of GJ's articles, books, and editorial activities related to Country Life Home and Garden: Discussion of Munstead Wood: its design, development, role of Lutyens, role played in Jekyll's books and articles for Country Life; visuals b/w, autochromes, and new color.

Dr. MacKenzie’s Golf Architecture was a monumental book for its time, a timeless book on golf architecture and a must for any student of the field or serious player. MacKenzie was an outdoorsman, a military man, and a doctor of medicine, whose hobby of golf architecture got the best of him. He ultimately abandoned his medical career to pursue golf course architecture and we must be thankful for that. He fully understood the nuances of the game but his genius was borne from his astute analysis of the nature of the course, its purpose and place in golf. One of the elemental distinctions he made was between strategic hazards (primarily sand bunkers, as he abhorred water as a penalty) and random hazards, as were commonly found on Scottish links—most notably at his beloved St. Andrews.

The penal school of architecture was in vogue during much of MacKenzie’s life but he would have none of it. His conception of a perfect course had to do with surrounding the player, frequently challenging him, but ultimately enabling him the freedom to play, to enjoy his day at golf. MacKenzie felt too many golfers looked on hazards “as a means of punishing a bad shot, when their real object is to make the game interesting.” When his masterpiece, Augusta National Golf Club opened there were only 23 bunkers, barely more than one per hole. “Hazards should be placed with an object, and none should be made which has not some influence on the line of play...” While he is in complete agreement with John L. Low’s 1903 comment in Concerning Golf that no hazard is unfair wherever it is placed, MacKenzie avows “a hazard placed in the exact position where a player would naturally go is frequently the most interesting situation, as then a special effort is needed to get over or avoid it.”

In one of the lectures that constitute this volume, MacKenzie identifies thirteen quintessential traits of the best golf architecture—the thirteen commandments for the zealous. Some are elementary: the next tee should be nearby the last green and in a direction away from following players; every hole should be of a different character and every course should have four par-threes, a couple of drive-and-pitch holes, but mostly substantial par-fours. Many qualities are more complicated: “The course should be so arranged so that the long handicap player, or even the absolute beginner, should be able to enjoy his round in spite of the fact that he is piling up a big score.” Besides ranking as one of the finest volumes on golf architecture, this book is valuable for the good course management it teaches, especially to those neophytes. Golfers must use their minds and act with authority; after all, this is war. MacKenzie was a military specialist in camouflaging earthworks; it was that peculiar skill that shaped his concepts for strategic bunkering.

MacKenzie’s simple formula for a good golf course is twofold: it must never become monotonous; and the best course construction is “almost entirely due to utilization of natural features to the fullest extent and to the construction of artificial ones indistinguishable from nature.” He was also one of the earliest proponents of hazards to putting, designing unique greens such as the seventeenth at Augusta where the vertical halves slope in opposite directions, or the fifth with its backward tiering. He wanted the route to the green to be generous, never lined with ball-gobbling rough or ponds, but he could also be audacious when given property with substantially different terrain, as on the Monterey Peninsula for Cypress Point. Wisely there, the green movement is more tempered due to the high risk factor of many other shots, and perhaps the distracting drama of the surrounds. Admirers of the art of Mackenzie in the U. S. should also view Ohio State University GC, the University of Michigan GC and Crystal Downs CC, Green Hills CC (CA ), Pasatiempo GC, Northwood GC and Stockton G & CC.

While totally serious and eminently important, this book is far from a chore to read. Although a stern, physically imposing Scot, MacKenzie liked a joke, even if at possibly his own expense. One of two rival green shapers admitted he could never quite achieve the subtle contours of the other, and asked his secret.

This assemblage of beautiful essays and photos looks at the science and art of golf architecture through many different perspectives. Some of the most knowledgeable voices on the topic of golf-course design, including award-winning architects, past presidents of the American Society of Golf Course Architects, and golf magazine editors express their viewpoints on the subject. Among the variety of issues discussed are the placement of hazards, the effects of technology, restoration versus renovation, and the importance of the rhythm of the course. In the first of four volumes, an essay contributed by Tom Doak, the founder and principal of Renaissance Golf Design, explores the meaning of what a golf architect does and is. Doak discusses the extensive use of mathematics required to evaluate variables in the landscape. An essay contributed by Bill Amick, who designed more than seventy-five courses in eight countries, presents the topic of how designs lend to the affordability of membership. In order to achieve cost-efficiency, golf architects must employ a sharp mind and good business sense. Paired with professionalism, golf architects must also have the soul of an artist and a passion for the game. Inspired by the work of Alister Mackenzie, Todd Eckenrode, the U.S. Public Links 1998 Medalist, addresses his affinity for slopes, contours, and a variety of tee shots. Thomas McBroom, who won Golf Digest's award for top course in 2002, includes an essay regarding the dramatic effects of bedrock, and how the traditional obstacles can be utilized for beauty, character, and strategy. Despite the importance of ingenuity, the spirit of creativity remains an important asset.

An excellent combination of sport, art, and intelligence, golf architecture holds an allure for admirers of courses worldwide.

The complicated process of creating such deceptively simple landscapes has been dissected by the top names in the field. This collection of essays, written by an international array of experts, delves into the complex issues involved in every detail of design. The design of a course is dependent on what elements the designer deems most important. An essay contributed by Jamie Dawson, founder of Enviro Links Design, presents the topic of strategic design interest. This architect takes into account how topography, vegetation, drainage, and fairway routing can contribute to the environmental well-being of a course. Natural landscape is also a concern for Jay Morrish, who was voted golf architect of the year in 1996. He prefers a more literary approach to his design. He likens the detailed craftsmanship of his courses to the careful precision of a poet. Each element must support the other in a beautiful arrangement of natural landscape and manufactured course. Although nature is a large part of any outdoor sports arena, it is often the technological advancements that make the golf course's design sustainable. Karl F. Grohs and Rainer Preissmann, the founding principals of Deutsche Golf Consult, present the topic of improving older courses by updating the existing designs, materials, and buildings to combine the traditional beauty with modern comforts and accessibility. Ronald Fream, an architect with experience in sixty countries, discusses the development of the craft-course design from St. Andrews to the educational and technological advancements that allow new courses to be cost-effective.

Golf is a game that turns even the weekend player into an armchair architect, an enthusiast for the possibilities of golf-course design. In this fourth volume of collected essays, leading golf architects from fifteen countries present their ideas, providing a much-needed international assessment of the principles and practices of golf architecture.

Near the end of the nineteenth century, golf courses moved toward the hearthland, creating the need for thorough reconfiguration of the natural landscape in the clearing of trees and the cultivation of grass to create interesting holes. With the completion of the National Golf Links of America in 1911, the art of golf-course design was born.

The essays and photographs included here represent the tremendous variety of approaches to design principles, from affordability and locality to considerations of the effect of time on the initial design and for specific aspects of the game. The contributors to the book constitute an international "who's who" in the world of golf architecture, with essays from the major golf-course-design firms around the world, award-winning golf architects, and renowned golfers.
