Recenzijas

"Twombly has brought to light Andrew Jackson Downings remarkable contributions to the American landscape. As one who greatly appreciates our public parks, and who was, I will admit, often taken them for granted, I will never stroll through one again without thinking of Downing. . . . [ A] book that could be read straight through, and revisited often by anyone with even a passing interest in landscapes and the public environment." -- Period Homes
