COMMUNICATIONS AWARD OF HONOR

Penn Studies in Landscape Architecture, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
University of Pennsylvania Press, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania


	"The breadth and impact of these books is immense. So impressive." — 2006 Professional Awards Jury Comments

The Penn Studies in Landscape Architecture (PSLA) series is dedicated to the study and promotion of a wide variety of approaches to landscape architecture, with emphasis on connections between theory and practice. It includes critical writing by members of the profession of landscape architecture, descriptions of projects by both established and rising designers, monographs on key topics in history and theory, translations of major foreign-language texts, and anthologies of theoretical and historical writings on classic issues.

Titles in the PSLA series are intended to advance and improve awareness and knowledge of the diversity, richness, and scope of the field through history that spans the world. Intended for the broad general public as well as for those in the field, whether practitioners, academics, or students, the PSLA series seeks to elevate the level of discourse, providing original scholarship, excellent writing, and critical thinking. As opportunities arise, historic material on the field previously unavailable in English has also been translated and published. To date, eighteen titles have been published since 1998 and more are currently either in production or under development. This series has contributed significantly to the field of Landscape Architecture, and the study of its contribution to civilization.

Titles in the PLSA series, published by the University of Pennsylvania Press, have worldwide distribution through bookstores, Internet sales, and library sales. The Press has international sales representation with a particularly strong network in the United States. In addition, the Press distributes two seasonal catalogs per year with book announcements for that particular season (Spring/Summer & Fall/Winter).
