Tom Turner's systematic history of European garden design uses almost 900 photographs, plans and style diagrams to explain, when, why and how European gardens were designed. With a focus on beliefs, functions and design philosophy, he covers the period from the origin of cultivation and settlement in the Fertile Crescent to garden design trends in 2011. The 10,000 years covered are split into ten sections giving detailed information on the main periods in the history of European garden design. 10,000 years ago, Europe was wooded, swampy and sparsely populated by nomadic hunter-gatherers. Neolithic techniques of cultivation and settlement spread north and west through the millennia, changing as they encountered different environmental and cultural conditions. European Gardens begins with the separate histories of domestic gardens, sacred gardens and palace gardens. The distinctions survived in Ancient Greece but converged in Italy, resulting in types of space not unlike modern gardens being made throughout the Roman Empire. The most intense period of garden making, linked with art and architecture, was from the Renaissance to the present day. This is the second of Turner's books dealing with the history of garden design following on from Asian Gardens: History, Beliefs and Design (published by Routledge in 2010). European Gardens: History, Philosophy and Design is an expanded version of the original Garden History book, published in 2005. It features new illustrations and additional text. Further details of all the gardens are available on the gardemasit.com website, which the author edits. `The scope of this book is vast ... a remarkable achievement.' --- Tim Richardson, Daily Telegraph `Concise and wide-ranging. An invaluable reference for students or designers.' --- Katie Campbell, Garden Design journal `[Garden History] takes readers on a tour of gardens, garden design and the reasons for making gardens throughout the centuries.' --- Suzanne Hively, Cleveland Plain Dealer `This book provides a good amount of basic material and provides a sound introduction to garden history. Since the book highlights that there is still an incredible amount of riches to explore, it ought to be able to inspire further reading and research as well.' - Jan Woudstra, The Garden, the journal of the Royal Horticultural Society
