"A century after the inception of the first public parks, there is a revival of interest in them, and many large and admirable recent examples exist. There is also an increasing need for amenities for recreation. Dr. Chadwick approaches these subjects both visually and historically, and draws his examples from Britain, Europe and North and South America. He recounts the history of public parks, and illustrates how their landscape was transformed by a changing approach to design. He indicates the park's changing function in the community, and brings his story up to date by showing a wide range of modern work." - from dust jacket.
