''For the first time, we have in one finely edited volume Homer Aschmann's exemplary work in cultural geography, in which he explores themes of historical and contemporary interest with a depth and clarity that only a scholar of his standing can muster.''--Yi-Fu Tuan, University of Wisconsin, Madison ''Homer Aschmann was one of those legendary larger-than-life characters one reads about but seldom encounters in the flesh. While his interests and enthusiasms transcended any single academic field, within geography the range and variety of things he studied and wrote about exceeds the record of anyone else in the profession. In fact, Homer embodied all those qualities one dreams of finding in the Compleat Geographer. Dip into this volume, and be prepared to be surprised, enlightened, and delighted.''--Wilbur Zelinsky, Pennsylvania State University ''Aschmann succeeded precisely because he studied not merely the terrain but also the culture of its inhabitants; it was the human aspect of the problem that engaged his attention.''--John Brinckerhoff Jackson, from the Foreword

Synopsis
''Aschmann was a keen and impassioned observer of the impacts of modern societies on the natural world.''-Karl Butzer, Dickson Centennial Professor of Liberal Arts, University of Kansas, Austin In The Evolving Landscape Martin J. Pasqualetti brings together for the first time the collected writings of one of twentieth-century America's master ......, ''Aschmann was a keen and impassioned observer of the impacts of modern societies on the natural world.''-Karl Butzer, Dickson Centennial Professor of Liberal Arts, University of Kansas, Austin In The Evolving Landscape Martin J. Pasqualetti brings together for the first time the collected writings of one of twentieth-century America's master geographers, Homer Aschmann. Combining encyclopedic knowledge with unquenchable curiosity, Aschmann radiates an obvious affection for being outdoors as he guides us across landscapes to discern the interplay of climate, history, topography, soils, and vegetation. In settings as diverse as Los Angeles, Baja California, Arizona, Paraguay, Chile, Colombia, and the Canary Islands, Aschmann demonstrates the contribution a geographer can make in explaining environmental change. ''Aschmann was a master of the geographical art.''-William M. Denevan, Carl O. Sauer Professor Emeritus, University of Wisconsin, Madison ''Serious students of the landscape will be startled by how relevant and contemporary these seminal essays remain.''-Richard Francaviglia, Director, Center for Greater Southwestern Studies and the History of Cartography, University of Texas at Arlington ''Aschmann's broad perspectives are a fast disappearing form of Geography which we lose at our science's peril.''-Carl L. Johannessen, Professor of Geography, University of Oregon, "Aschmann was a keen and impassioned observer of the impacts of modern societies on the natural world." -- Karl Butzer, Dickson Centennial Professor of Liberal Arts, University of Kansas, Austin In The Evolving Landscape Martin J.
