Landscape Perspectives : The Holistic Nature of Landscape Paperback / softback
by Marc Antrop, Veerle Van Eetvelde
Part of the Landscape Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
Climb a mountain and experience the landscape. Try to grasp its holistic nature. Do not climb alone, but with others and share your experience.
Be sure the ways of seeing the landscape will be very different.
We experience the landscape with all senses as a complex, dynamic and hierarchically structured whole.
The landscape is tangible out there and simultaneously a mental reality.
Several perspectives are obvious because of language, culture and background.
Many disciplines developed to study the landscape focussing on specific interest groups and applications.
Gradually the holistic way of seeing became lost. This book explores the different perspectives on the landscape in relation to its holistic nature.
We start from its multiple linguistic meanings and a comprehensive overview of the development of landscape research from its geographical origins to the wide variety of today’s specialised disciplines and interest groups.
Understanding the different perspectiveson the landscapes and bringing them together is essential in transdisciplinary approaches where the landscape is the integrating concept.
