While many fields struggle to specify feminine contributions; the work of women has always played a fundamental role in American landscape architecture. Women claim responsibility for many landscape types now taken for granted; including community gardens; playgrounds; and streetscapes. This collection of essays by leaders in the discipline addresses the ways that gender has influenced the history; design practice and perception of landscapes. It highlights womenrsquo;s relation to landscape architecture; presents the professional efforts of women in the landscape realm; examines both the perception and experience of landscapes by women; and speculates on ways to re-imagine gender and the landscape.

Kindle edition is uselessBy MGI love this book (I have the hardcover and kindle editions). but unfortunately the kindle edition STILL. after over a year. does not display fractions. Why does quality control suck so badly on so many kindle books?74 of 76 people found the following review helpful. Authentic Chinese CuisineBy EilieThis cookbook. like most of Eileen Yin-Fei Los cookbooks. is focused on authentic Chinese cuisine and is not a Chinese takeout cookbook. As the book does not cut corners. it includes the presence of some Chinese ingredients which may be difficult to find outside an Asian supermarket. For example. the cookbook includes a number of recipes which would be considered banquet or special occasion foods and include ingredients such as Sharks Fin and Birds Nest. Nevertheless. this book does include a number of everyday recipes such as Ma Po Tofu and Hunan Hot and Spicy Shrimp. which can be made after a trip to the Asian foods aisle of most supermarkets. and provides useful recipes for Chinese sauces. such as XO sauce. which are usually purchased prepared. This cookbook is definitely geared toward people who are more accustomed to traditional Chinese cooking or are interested in how Chinese food is outside the local takeout place. Mastering the Art of Chinese Cooking includes a number of beautiful pictures of the prepared food and provides a taste of what Chinese home cooking can really be like.29 of 29 people found the following review helpful.
