Omschrijving
A unique collection of contributions from leading authorities on countryside and landscape history, this book honours the memory of Oliver Rackham. Ranging all over Europe from Białowieża Forest in Poland to the Mediterranean, and across the world from New England to northern Japan, the many perspectives make for a diverse and cogent conversation.

She is an advocate for landscape conservation and preservation of cultural heritage in Greece and elsewhere. In 1989 she was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship, the so-called genius grant, for her research.
