"A century after the inception of the first public parks, there is a revival of interest in them, and many large and admirable recent examples exist. There is also an increasing need for amenities for recreation. Dr. Chadwick approaches these subjects both visually and historically, and draws his examples from Britain, Europe and North and South America.
