Brief Histories of Landscape
Publisher Buchet Chastel
GENRE Sociology
How do humans emotionally experience landscapes evolving around them?

Do we notice transformations in the landscapes around us? Do we see children growing up? These processes are so gradual that only upon coming back after being away for a while do we really take stock of such changes. This book helps us become more aware of evolutions in these familiar places–which can be overwhelming at times–so we can better understand what has taken place over the last century and foresee tomorrow’s landscapes. With great sensitivity, François Letourneux describes how cars, traffic signs and lights, white lines, and traffic circles have invaded our space.
