A Negotiated Landscape examines the transformation of San Francisco’s iconic waterfront from the eve of its decline in 1950 to the turn of the millennium. What was once a major shipping port is now best known for leisure and entertainment. To understand this landscape Jasper Rubin not only explores the built environment but also the major forces that have been at work in its redevelopment. While factors such as new transportation technology and economic restructuring have been essential to the process and character of the waterfront’s transformation; the impact of local; grassroots efforts by planners; activists; and boosters have been equally critical. The first edition of A Negotiated Landscape won the 2012 prize for best book in planning history from the International Planning History Society. Much has changed in the five years since that edition was published. For this second edition; Rubin provides a new concluding chapter that updates the progress of planning on San Francisco’s waterfront and examines debates over the newest visions for its development.

Unbelievable as it may seem I am reading it from A to Z. It is that compelling! Now when I am looking for exceptional performances to demonstrate ways to interpret the composer the student is studying I learn from Dr. Sieks dictionary who the outstanding performers of Bach. Beethoven. Brahms. etc. are and have the students listen to their recordings. From the dictionary I have discovered amazing performers I did not know existed. A treasure!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Eleonora LawsonWonderful resource for contemporary pianists AND a wealth of information in terms of not only performers but much more!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Treasure!By Susan FA must for every piano lovers library. whether amateur or professional. Absolutely worth every penny. and much more an encyclopedia than a dictionary. Nearly 400 entries are covered with immense thoroughness. and the writing is so engaging that it is hard to put down. Especially valuable is the inclusion of the contributions of the great pedagogues. Owning this one volume can save one from searching for material in multiple sources. provides much information not easily found elsewhere. and provides many hours of reading pleasure.
