Summary
"Jens Jensen (1860-1951) was not only the landscape artist for the Fords, but for 500+ other commissions which ranged from a small home to a Hot Springs National Park...His designs for the Fords are based on principles that have been articulated by the authors. The second half of the book is devoted to expressions of how you too can live in a landscape that evokes harmony with nature. The appendices give useful advice on how to make this happen for you, your church, your local park system and even your work site."--Provided by the author.
