G. HoskinsArgues that the strengths and weaknesses of landscape archaeology can be traced back to the underlying theoretical discontents of RomanticismOffers an alternative agenda for landscape archaeology that maps more closely onto the established empirical strengths of landscape study and has more contemporary relevance

Recensioner i media

"I have always found Johnson’s work … extremely inviting, engaging and thoughtful. Ideas of Landscape is no exception." (Cambridge Archaeological Journal, October 2008) “One might suggest that in this excellent work, Johnson has written an archaeology of knowledge concerning landscape studies. A glossary and illustrations add meaningfully to a work of much industry … Highly recommended.” (Choice)“Ideas of Landscape is a towering contribution--shall we say, a high vantage point from which one cansurvey a scholarly landscape?” (Canadian Journal of Archaeology)
