This book is Garden Design. Crowe takes the reader through the recurring manifestations of the principles of design in such famous gardens as the Alhambra in Spain, the Villa Lante in Italy, Vaux-le-Vicomte in France and Stowe in England and on to the works of Roberto Burle Marx, Lawrence Halprin and Sven Hermelin.

Reviews
On Mar 26 2007, Convalaria said:
She had an extraordinary ability to make an instant appreciation of any situation and to produce acceptable solutions. Crowe�s fortitude became legendary and there are many stories of her continuing to work in hypothermic conditions, ignoring the effects of falling down steep slopes when feeling unwell.
