Summary:

"Shepheard (1913-2002) was an outstanding multi-disciplinary educator and practitioner whose contribution to the development of the profession of landscape architecture is widely undervalued. In this book, an international team of scholars explores and evaluates Shepheard's skills and achievements, placing them in the context of his enormous intellectual curiosity and fascination with the minuscule detail of the natural world."--Jacket.
