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-extending the scope of the book in remarkable ways.
He's an absolute genius, and this volume is one of the most compelling things I've ever read. Mitchell's own articles are the best, but there are numerous gems in this book, and there's nothing really like it in the field. Interdisciplinary in the best way. Only tiny quibble is that women and people of color aren't really represented much in the author selection, but the quality of the work is uniformly nonetheless very high, and there's a great piece by Edward Said.
