The first edition of this book, published in 1994, reshaped the direction of landscape studies by considering landscape not simply as an object to be seen or a text to be read, but as an instrument of cultural force, a central tool in the creation of national and social identities. This second edition adds not only a new preface, but five new essays - from Edward Said, W. J. T. Mitchell, Jonathan Bordo, Michael Taussig and Robert Pogue Harrison - extend the scope of the book in remarkable ways.
