Denatured Visions: Landscape and Culture in the Twentieth Century confronts this urgent question head-on, gathering a rich collection of essays, images, and critical perspectives that map the fractured terrain between the natural landscape and the forces of modernisation that have irrevocably reshaped it. Edited by Stuart Wrede and William Howard Adams, this landmark anthology assembles contributions from architects, artists, historians, and cultural critics, all grappling with how the twentieth century's unprecedented technological and industrial ambitions have altered humanity's perception of — and relationship to — the natural world.\n\nThe volume argues that landscape is never merely scenery; it is a cultural construct, a mirror of ideology, power, and desire. Drawing on a broad sweep of disciplines — from art history and architecture to philosophy and environmental thought — it presents a sophisticated, multi-vocal portrait of a century that simultaneously celebrated and destroyed the very nature it sought to represent. Published under the authoritative auspices of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, this collection stands as essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how the modern gaze has transformed wilderness into image, and nature into nostalgia — leaving the reader to wonder what, if anything, of the natural world remains untouched.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49269336244443,"sku":"2026200014630-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/32166219-c978-4ff2-a9de-7d197e931b14.png?v=1788998355","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014630-secondhand-denatured-visions-landscape-and-culture-in-the-twentieth-century","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
