REVIEW: Extensive review of Overgrown in "Landscape Review"

Rod Barnett, Landscape Architecture Research Fellow at the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St Louis has written an extensive review of Overgrown in Landscape Review. The abstract for the review:

Julian Raxworthy’s new book advances an intriguing, well-researched treatise about the design of gardens. I found that, like some old book of philosophy, it lays out not so much a thesis as a guide for living, a practice doctrine, a set of rules, the divinations of a magus. After reading it, I found myself rethinking the spells in my own personal witchcraft. My review of Raxworthy’s book is a transcript of this rethinking operation. It, too, is about gardens.
