520    "A landscape architect, city planner, and creative genius 
       who transformed the American landscape, Frederick Law 
       Olmsted was a man of passionate vision and drive. He 
       defined the profession of landscape architecture and 
       designed America's most outstanding landscapes, many 
       gorgeously illustrated here, including New York's Central 
       Park, Brooklyn's Prospect Park, the U. S. Capitol grounds,
       and the Biltmore Estate. During a remarkable forty-year 
       career that began in the mid-1800s, Olmsted created the 
       first major urban parks and park systems in this country, 
       along with widely influential suburban residential 
       communities. He was a pivotal figure in the movement to 
       create scenic reservations and national parks, such as 
       Niagara Falls, Yosemite, and Yellowstone, and he 
       contributed to the design of many academic campuses, 
       including Stanford University. A comprehensive view of the
       man and his work, this updated edition of the Rizzoli 
       classic marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of this 
       seminal American landscape designer and includes new 
       photography of Olmsted's masterworks Central and Prospect 
       Parks, as well as a new introduction and new final chapter
       by the author that examines Olmsted's ongoing influence."-
