Paradeisos, the Art of the Garden

By Germain Bazin

Taking 120 examples, the author traces the development of the garden in Europe, Asia and America, showing how it fulfilled different functions in different periods: as a place of meditation in the 16th and 17th centuries and for intimacy with nature in the flower gardens of 20th-century England.
