Landscape is a stimulating introduction to and contemporary understandingnbsp;of one of the most important concepts within human geography. A series of different influential readings of landscape are debated and explored, and, for the first time, distinctive traditions of landscape writing are brought together and examined as a whole, in a forward-looking critical review of work by cultural geographers and others within the last twenty to thirty years. This book clearly and concisely explores 'landscape' theories and writings, allowing students of geography, environmental studies and cultural studies to fully comprehend this vast and complex topic. To aid the student, vignettes are used to highlight key writers, papers and texts. Annotated further reading and student exercises are also included. For researchers and lecturers, Landscape presents a forward-looking synthesis of hitherto disparate fields of inquiry, one which offers a platform for future research and writing. nbsp; Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

If the reader is thinking: "I didn't even know Landscape Studies was a thing," they are not alone. I had no idea either, and this is definitely not my area of study. I picked up Wylie's Landscape while working on a paper for my children's literature masters, on the use and significance of place and landscape in two children's novels - Eilís Dillon's The Island of Ghosts and Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. Although in the end I didn't find it very germane to my topic - I ended up using the idea of the topos put forward in Jane Suzanne Carroll's excellent Landscape in Children's Literature - I am glad to have read it. Reviewing it now, after a number of years have elapsed, I struggle to call to mind some of the specifics of Wylie's analysis - I was aided in the writing by the copious notes I took at the time - but I do recall finding it useful, largely because it expanded my understanding of the complexities involved in how we perceive the world. It is a highly academic book - were it not for that paper, I would likely never have picked it up - so I would probably only recommend it to scholars with a strong interest in the subject. ( )
