Presenting a century's worth of the most breathtaking landscape designs around the globe, John Hill begins with Filoli, the forward-looking estate just south of San Francisco, and closes with The Park, the first public garden in Las Vegas. Demonstrating how public spaces have evolved over time, Hill travels to the leafy promenades along Slovenia's Ljubljanica River, the lush gardens at Lunuganga in Sri Lanka, the Peace Memorial Park in Japan, Utah's Spiral Jetty, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Two-page spreads of color photos are paired with Hill's insightful texts on design innovations and trends from 1917 to 2016.
