SELECTED LIST OF

REFERENCES ON LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Bibliography - Periodicals - General - History and historic styles - Theory of landscape design and appreciation Landscape composition - Natural forms of ground, rock, and water - Vegetation: Planting design - Structures in relation to landscape - Types of landscape designs - Professional practice Construction and maintenance.

On some parts of the field of landscape architecture there is a wealth of published material from which to choose, but on others—especially on the theory of landscape design and on landscape construction - there is a striking dearth of literature of real value. This condition. is reflected more or less by the scale of the subdivisions of this present list. The references selected, however, present a reasonably comprehensive view of the subject of landscape architecture, the more so, in bringing forward single articles and chapters which have not previously appeared in bibliographies, but which are well worth the attention of students.

Practically all the more important works on landscape architecture, and many of the minor ones, have been examined in libraries here and abroad; and use has been especially made of the comprehensive bibliography of landscape architecture which is in preparation by the Library of the Harvard School of Landscape Architecture, based on the Harvard University and Codman collections, and enlarged from all available sources. In selecting titles for inclusion in the present list, due consideration has been given to books of historical significance; but, since previous lists as noted in the section BIBLIOGRAPHY — have particularly emphasized the historical aspect of the literature of our field, this list endeavors rather to bring out predominantly titles of practical or inspirational value.

In the references in the geographical subdivisions, under estates anD GARDENS, only modern works or editions have been included because of their greater accessibility; but the value of the older and often contemporary books of plates such as Falda, Perelle, Percier and Fontaine, or the Nouveau Théâtre de la Grande Bretagne, should not be overlooked, and for the titles of these the reader is referred to the catalogue of the Codman Collection mentioned below.
