Springer’s innovative Landscape Series is committed to publishing high-quality
manuscripts that approach the concept of landscape from a broad range of perspectives.
Encouraging contributions on theory development, as well as more applied
studies, the series attracts outstanding research from the natural and social sciences,
and from the humanities and the arts. It also provides a leading forum for publications
from interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary teams.
Drawing on, and synthesising, this integrative approach the Springer Landscape
Series aims to add new and innovative insights into the multidimensional nature of
landscapes. Landscapes provide homes and livelihoods to diverse peoples; they
house historic – and prehistoric – artefacts; and they comprise complex physical,
chemical and biological systems. They are also shaped and governed by human
societies who base their existence on the use of the natural resources; people enjoy
the aesthetic qualities and recreational facilities of landscapes, and people design
new landscapes.
As interested in identifying best practice as it is in progressing landscape theory,
the Landscape Series particularly welcomes problem-solving approaches and contributions
to landscape management and planning. The ultimate goal is to facilitate
both the application of landscape research to practice, and the feedback from
practice into research.
