Unnatural Horizons presents a selective history of the last five centuries of landscape architecture, at the intersection of poetics and science, rhetoric and technology, philosophy and politics. It investigates the relations between garden aesthetics and metaphysics, discussing further the issues raised by author Allen S. Weiss's highly acclaimed Mirrors of Infinity.
