Terrestrial paradise and primeval garden, Eden represent an ideal that inspired every one of the world's green spaces. This spectacular volume presents an unprecedented survey of landscape and garden design in more than fifty countries. The author focuses not only on the most famous gardens of the world but also on a great number of unknown green spaces. In addition to eight short interludes that discuss the geography and vegetation of various regions, Guaita offers a concise and comprehensive history of the world's garden traditions.
