Media Reviews
'Groundbreaking landscapes that will stretch your imagination to the limit' - House & Garden
'Colourful and weighty ... part compendium, proselytising tract (albeit with an uber-cool sense of wit and layout design), theoretical handbook and trade magazine' - The Art Book
'The most important book of the year ... thoughtful, beautifully produced and taking its readers into much unfamiliar territory' - Independent
'Fascinating ... highly rewarding ... mind-flexing stuff' - Country Life
