Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"While the book tells Haag's story, it also describes the evolution of landscape architecture in the Northwest."
* Columns *
"Since 1964, when he founded the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Washington, Haag has gained a warranted admiration that Way has sharply surveyed and illustrated in her new book."
-- Paul Dorpat * Pacific NW Magazine *
"This very detailed work is most useful for professionals. The book brings new attention to Pacific Northwest landscape design. Recommended."
