Part history, part guide, part source book--Cultivating Modernism will be an inspiration to all with an interest in gardens, books, and the recent past. For the garden maker, innovative design ideas open a door on new and creative ways to landscape the modern home. For the bibliophile, Cultivating Modernism comes alive through a kaleidoscopic mix, marrying image and text from a dazzling array of long-forgotten books, magazines, and ephemera. For the general reader with an interest in the past, this will be a vital journey through a turbulent time. With 330 images in full colour, Cultivating Modernism is an armchair tour through our modern landscape--international in scope, Australian in focus.
