Beschreibung:
Cathy Jean Maloney is a landscape historian and author of five books on garden and environmental history, including World's Fair Gardens: Shaping American Landscapes. For more than twenty years, Maloney served as senior editor of Chicagoland Gardening magazine. She also chaired the Landscape Advisory Commission in historic Riverside, Illinois, and spearheaded its certification as an arboretum. Maloney has appeared on numerous radio and TV shows, and teaches at the Morton Arboretum and the Chicago Botanic Garden while writing for national and regional publications.
Olmsted's Riverside tells the story of the oasis of Riverside, Illinois, a Chicago suburb planned by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in 1869. The book describes the village's inception and details in four chronological chapters how Riverside adapted to tragedies and changes in public works technology and environmental thought.
