Landscape and Sustainable Development
Previously published in French by Editions Quae, this volume presents findings of a major research programme into landscape and sustainable development. While led by French scholars, the research team and geographical scope of the project was international, collaborative and comparative. Using case studies from across Europe, the interdisciplinary team of contributors discuss the relationship between landscape as defined by the European Landscape Convention and the concept of sustainable development. This English edition has a new introduction written by Yves Luginbühl and Peter Howard. Some of the topics covered, such as wind-farm landscapes, will be familiar to English language readers, but others, are less so, such as footpath economics, non-woodland trees, inter-generational equity, and the insistence on the necessary developments in governance.

Using case studies from across Europe, the interdisciplinary team of contributors discuss the relationship between landscape as defined by the European Landscape Convention and the concept of sustainable development. This English edition has a new introduction written by Yves Luginbühl and Peter Howard. The book is then divided into three sections: Biophysical Realities and Landscape Practice; Landscape Resources-Inheritance and Renewal; Governance and Participation. Some of the topics covered, such as wind-farm landscapes, will be familiar to English language readers, but others, such as footpath economics, non-woodland trees, inter-generational equity, and the insistence on the necessary developments in governance less so.

Landscape dimensions
As a key element of individual and social well-being and quality of life, landscape plays an important part in human fulfilment and in reinforcement of European identity. Adopted under the auspices of the Council of Europe, the European Landscape Convention aims to promote the protection, management and planning of landscapes, and to organise international co-operation in this field. It applies to the entire territory of the contracting parties and covers natural, rural, urban and peri-urban areas. It concerns landscapes considered outstanding, as well as everyday or degraded areas. Certain “dimensions” of the landscape are presented in this publication, which addresses key issues for its future, including democracy, education, economy, leisure and advertising. Landscape management processes – and even the term “landscape” itself – are also analysed. This book forms part of a process of reflection on the major themes concerning the living environment.
La Mise en scène du monde. Construction du paysage européen
Alors que les paysages européens ont connu depuis un siècle et demi une évolution considérable, ils n'occupent pas la place qu'ils méritent dans le débat environnemental actuel aussi bien chez les professionnels que chez les particuliers. Articulant histoire, géographie, sociologie et aménagement du territoire, Yves Luginbühl explore le paysage et questionne les enjeux de société qui lui sont liés. Mieux conjuguer qualité de cadre de vie, implications écologiques et usages démocratiques constitue, pour les sociétés européennes, un défi majeur. Des sensibilités sociales à la notion d'environnement, des paysages " naturels " aux paysages " culturels ", de la notion de " belle nature " à la " construction paysagère ", de la mise en ordre à la mise en scène, cette somme vivante et inspirée décrypte un élément essentiel de notre rapport au monde et des identités nationales et européenne.
The Pride of Place
Nineteenth-century France grew fascinated with the local past. Thousands of citizens embraced local archaeology, penned historical vignettes and monographs, staged historical pageants, and created museums and pantheons of celebrities. Stéphane Gerson's rich, elegantly written, and timely book provides the first cultural and political history of what contemporaries called the "cult of local memories," an unprecedented effort to resuscitate the past, instill affection for one's locality, and hence create a sense of place. A wide range of archival and printed sources (some of them untapped until now) inform the author's engaging portrait of a little-known realm of Parisian entrepreneurs and mi...
