A celebration of places and the gardens they can become. Using more than 500 sketches, axonometric drawings, and photos, the authors study each garden, its history, and the patterns and ideas that contribute to its lore. In different cultures, times and geographical areas, different possibilities for gardens are revealed with many examples. A lovely book of high and accessible scholarship. While he offers little poetic competition to Burton Watson's 100 translations in Cold Mountain, Henricks (religion, Dartmouth College) does provide complete, annotated translations of the entire Han-shan collection of 311 poems, showing the range of Han-shan's poetic interests, and his relationship to the development of Buddhism in China during the T'ang. Paper edition (unseen), $18.95. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
