(usa) Wendy J. Darby

187K0

This interdisciplinary study, covering a broad period from 1750 to the present, examines the important role that landscape played in the formation of historical class relations and national identity. The book is divided into three parts: cultural expression, political content, and ethnography. It discusses the legislative history of scenic spots, the conflict or interaction between scenic access rights and political access rights, the relationship between the transportation system and scenic environmental protection, the game surrounding scenic area development and land use, and the power relationships hidden in the scenery. The multiple perspectives complement each other and are inspiring in terms of academic vision and methods.
