"Written in a most engaging, highly readable way with a wide-ranging mass of illustrations rich enough to operate as individual visual essays."_Chris Stephens, Art Book

"[T]his book makes an important addition to landscape literature. Political Landscape is a valuable resource for students of landscape painting, environmental history, and any who are interested in the ways in which nature has been manipulated by people."_Cynthia Ott, Art Documentation
