Frederick Law Olmsted: Designing the American Landscape
Beveridge's book is much less comprehensive when it comes to Olmsted's life, but much more illustrative when it comes to his work than Rybczynski's book. It's worth a look just for the wonderful photographs of some private work Olmsted did around the country.
Notes:
The strength of the book is in the synopses of Olmsted's various projects and their theoretical bases. The reading of Olmsted's life and work is immeasurably enhanced by the wonderful photographs in the book. The great irony is Olmsted's epic populist vision could only be fully carried out on large private estates where he was given free reign. Olmsted bore himself with a brash self-righteousness that borders on egomania. What this book sorely lacks is a detailed useful comparison of Olmsted's work with that of other landscape architects of the time.
