{"product_id":"landscapes-in-the-making","title":"Landscapes in the Making","description":"\u003cp\u003eHow are landscapes actually made? Not designed on paper, but built — by hand, over time, often by people history forgets. \u003cem\u003eLandscapes in the Making\u003c\/em\u003e turns away from the architect's or planner's vantage point to look instead at the labour, skill, and improvisation behind landscapes of every kind: trash dumps and gravel pits, abandoned canneries, quarry sites, church and palace construction, parks and gardens, government grounds. Edited by cultural geographer Stephen Daniels and architectural historian Dell Upton, the volume draws on documentary, visual, and field sources to recover the agency of the people who physically shaped these places, frequently under demanding or coercive conditions. It also widens the lens outward, tracing how materials and labour moved across regional and international geographies. The landscapes it describes are never finished — always provisional, always still being made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContributions spanning multiple continents and centuries, from ancient quarries to twentieth-century industrial sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRichly illustrated with photographs, maps, and archival images documenting landscape labour in progress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrings together cultural geography, architectural history, and material culture in a single interdisciplinary volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow everyday sites of labour — dumps, pits, canneries — carry their own histories of skill and making\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe overlooked contributions of workers, tradespeople, and communities typically excluded from landscape and architectural history\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow materials and people moved across regions and borders in the physical construction of place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy landscapes are best understood not as finished designs but as ongoing, provisional processes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStephen Daniels is Professor of Cultural Geography, Emeritus, at the University of Nottingham.
