| Summary |
"The Cultivated Landscape uses over seventy illustrations to look at the changes in Western agriculture and its presentation in art from feudal times to the present." "The authors discuss the evolution of how we think about agriculture, its use of the land, its impact on landscape, and how landscape has been portrayed historically in art. They also provide a wider discussion of the role that science and economics have played in agricultural development and the parallels to changes in landscape art." "Concluding with a discussion of the complex issues facing agriculture today, The Cultivated Landscape calls for greater connection between agriculture and our environment and looks at options for a sustainable future."--BOOK JACKET |
