- The authors take a range of ‘parks’, from local
town playgrounds to international landmarks such as the Grand
Canyon and Disneyland, and explore their origins and social
significance.
- The book is a global study, spanning all five continents, and
also covering several thousand years - from Eden to Disney.
- Environmental history is a growing field, which lacks good
publications. This book is likely to be required reading on such
courses. It will also be used on geography, american studies and
leisure and tourism courses.
- Very clearly written, with illustrations, suggestions for further reading and full background information throughout.
