The Landscape Of Power

"Sylvia Crowe, the eminent landscape architect, is not a preservationist. She accepts the fact that you cannot put the clock back; she accepts the essential need for the construction of immense oil refineries, nuclear reactors, power stations, and the network of the electricity grid. What she will not accept is that the introduction of these vast new structures into the landscape need necessarily ruin it, and in this practical, lucidly written handbook she calls for more thoughtfulness among those who are responsible for their construction."
