"The Living Landscape offers a thoughtful and excellent examination
of how we can understand, analyze, and interpret the landscape as
interacting physical, biological, and cultural systems. This book
is unique because of the emphasis the author places on
understanding the landscape in terms of relationships among these
systems. The Living Landscape is a useful and timely contribution
to the growing body of knowledge on ecological planning."
