Cynthia Zaitzevsky's timely, handsome and authoritative book provides the first detailed description of the Olmsted firm's 'Boston work,' and demonstrates with a wealth of archival material the extraordinaryoriginality and vitality of Olmsted's design solutions.
Review
One of the many merits of this clearly written, carefully documented, and handsomely illustrated monograph is that it represents a significant contribution to the relatively recent growth of two interrelatedspecializations: the historiography of landscape architecture and the practice of preservation, restoration, and adaptive reuse of historically-significant landscapes.
