Action By Design: Facilitating Design Decisions into the21st Century, is a compelling document which examinessocietal change and its impact on the natural and builtenvironment, and stands as one of the most importantfuture-looking contributions from a design profession todate.

Action By Design investigates the current social, eco-nomic, political and technological forces of change and,utilizing futures forecasting techniques, identifies probablescenarios for the quality of life in the United States. It is abook by designers for use by all who have a role in thedesign decision-making process--government officials,environmental organizations, ~ivic and neighborhood asso-ciations, professional designers and planners, business,and special interest groups.

The book proposes a new design decision-making pro-cess to deal with such vital issues as environmental media-tion, resource extraction, water and land use management,housing, energy, special populations and the changingurban center.

Written by prominent landscape architect and scholarLane L. Marshall, Action By Design is the result of an18-month study on the future of society and the designprofessions, conducted by an ASLA blue ribbon task force.The book has been endorsed unanimously by the NationalBoard of Directors of the American Society of InteriorDesigners (ASlD).

"Recognizing that the future quality of the natural andbuilt environment rests not only with designers and naturalscientists but perhaps more importantly with design deci-sion-makers from all walks of life, this book attempts to pro-vide guidelines and hope for all who are devoted to mak-ing better decisions about the protection and enhancementof the quality of life in America," said Marshall.

Many seek to expand professional knowledge and skillsbeyond initial training in order to move quickly into leadership roles in professional practice and teaching.To encourage these career goals, many courses emphasize the emerging concerns and areas ofspecialization in landscape architecture.In 1900 Harvard became the first university to offer a professional training program in landscapearchitecture. Today Harvard pioneers efforts in the development of theory and methods in the fieldwith particular emphasis on history, design theory, computer methods for large-scale landscape planningand design, as well as traditional design concerns.Financial aid is available to students who could not otherwise afford to meet the basic expenses ofattending graduate school.

HUMANSCAPE:ENVIRONMENTS FOR PEOPLEBy Stephen Kaplan and Rachel Kaplan

HUMANSCAPE provides a unique perspective on humans and theirrelationship to the environment. It provides an information processing pointof view, but one that is more synthetic than is traditional. Here, territory andprivacy, stress and coping, even aesthetics, are related within an informationalframework.

HUMANSCAPE deals with the uncertain environment in which humans findthemselves and views this uncertainty as both a problem and a challenge. Forwhile uncertainty brings with it the threat of confusion, it can also provide theopportunity to test one’s skills, to venture, to explore.

Dominance and AffectionThe Making of Pets

When we view the beauty of a man-made landscape, we tendto forget that it was often initiated as an exercise in power; inthe case of Louis XIV’s Versailles, for example, 3o,ooo sol-diers had to labor day and night to bring water to the aridpalace grounds. In the same way, the creation of topiary artand bonsai can be viewed in a dual light: as a playful, plea-surable activity or as a deliberate reminder of our need tocommand and impose. Geographer Yi-Fu Tuan, whose ear-lier books include Topophilia and Landscapes of Fear, hereexamines the human psychological urge to "domesticate" awide spectrum of creation, from plants and animals to otherhuman beings, z3 illus. $I9.95

And two by John R. Stilgoe

Metropolitan CorridorRailroads and the American Scene

This engaging book examines the place of railroads inAmerican culture and in the American built environmentduring the half-century from i88o to I93o. Stilgoe recreatesthe structures and spaces that grew up around the railroad:the great urban passenger terminals with their engineeredsplendor, the electricity-generating stations that stood as anaffirmation of modern technology, the viaducts and junctiontowers, the railroad crossings that signaled danger anddestruction.

"(An) impressive new study.... Here in wonderful detailare the trains and the built environment adjacent to theright-of-way they traveled .... A stunning spatial analysisof the transformations wrought by the railroads."-- Delores Greenberg, The New York Times Book Review~79 illus. $29.95

Common Landscape ofAmerica, 158o to 184.jBetween i58o, when Spanish settlers began shaping our land,and 1845, when rapid urbanization dramatically altered theenvironment, the structures and spaces created by Ameri-cans were governed by common design, understood by alland passed from generation to generation. Stilgoe’s beauti-fully written account of the remaining vestiges of this man-made landscape reveals how it objectified American culturaltraits of that era.

"Immensely valuable .... Stilgoe presents a fascinating pic-ture of early rural America and not simply as an aestheticexperience; the author fully explains the interaction of peo-ple and land over time, and he reflects upon the variations ineach." --Michael M. Laurie, Landscape Journal 3o illus.Now in paperback $IZ.95
