Creese, Walter L.
Pt. I. Great given spaces, almost too large to comprehend or handle. Jefferson's Charlottesville ; The Hudson Valley ; Yosemite National Park ; Mt. Hood national Forest and timberline Lodge -- Pt. II. Smaller spaces, treated more directly and actively, so that they might even be called inventions. The Boston Fens ; Graceland Cemetery and the landscaped lawn ; Riverside: the greatest American suburb ; Wright's Taliesin and beyond.
