In Living in the Landscape Arnold Berleant explores new ways of thinking about how we live - and might live - in the landscapes that enfold us. Through the concepts of "aesthetic engagement" and "environmental continuity," he proposes a new paradigm that offers a holistic approach to the meaning of place, and to the places of meaning in our lives.
Berleant addresses issues commonly associated with the environmental movement, such as preservation, pollution control, and quality of life. But his study draws from a wide range of disciplines and for that reason should also appeal to scholars and students interested in art and aesthetics, landscape architecture and planning, urban and environmental design, and cultural geography, as well as environmental studies.
