{"product_id":"nature-and-ideology-joachim-wolschke-bulmahn-9780884022466","title":"Nature and Ideology: Nature and Garden Design in the Twentieth Century","description":"This volume explores the broad range of ideas about nature reflected in twentieth-century concepts of natural gardens and their ideological implications. A possible definition--nature is ideology--suggests that nature can be seen as a systematic scheme of ideas held by particular social, political, and cultural groups, and that our definition of nature is a human intellectual construct. Historical and contemporary concepts of natural garden design provide evidence of these different concepts of nature. The desire to produce a natural garden design has fascinated many professional and amateur garden designers, and the essays in this volume investigate their use of earlier ideas of natural gardens and their relationship to the rich model that nature offers. The work of early twentieth-century natural garden advocates helped shape much of twentieth-century landscape architecture in both the United States and Europe, and the ideologies underlying the concepts of natural gardens show how political, economic, and social developments influenced design programs and decisions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joachim Wolschke-Bulmahn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0884022463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780884022466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dumbarton Oaks Research Library \u0026amp; Collection\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.23h x 8.81w x 1.08d","brand":"Joachim Wolschke-Bulmahn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48447808995583,"sku":"9780884022466","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f09e6654-ee21-4cad-a0ea-509cb8c60f41.jpg?v=1777234961","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nature-and-ideology-joachim-wolschke-bulmahn-9780884022466","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
