From Choice Reviews: "This readable, chatty book traces the contours and life work of Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903), the founder of American landscape architecture. Most famous for New York's Central Park, Olmsted and partner Calvert Vaux designed public and private landscapes large and small. Enduring works include Brooklyn's Prospect Park, the Emerald Necklace of Boston, and the grounds of the US Capitol. A late-blooming polymath, Olmsted was a writer, environmentalist, and social reformer. ... [This book] succeeds in portraying a seminal character whose life strongly influenced the way people experience urban space in contemporary America. Summing Up: Recommended. All general and academic readers."
