Bringing together Olmsted{u2019}s most significant parks, parkways, park systems, and scenic reservations, this gorgeous volume takes readers on a uniquely conceived tour of such notable landscapes as Central Park, Prospect Park, the Buffalo Park and Parkway System, Washington Park and Jackson Park in Chicago, Boston{u2019}s "Emerald Necklace," and Mount Royal in Montreal, Quebec. No such guide to Olmsted{u2019}s parks has ever been published. Frederick Law Olmsted (1822{u2013}1903) planned many parks and park systems across the United States, leaving an enduring legacy of designed public space that is enjoyed and defended today.
