In this series of essays, Seddon considers everything from creating a garden in Fremantle, to locating ancient plants in the North Queensland rainforest, to analyzing the geological features on either side of the Collingwood tram tracks. In addition, he offers a provocative and acutely aware cultural treatment of the moral and environmental aspects of the construction, management and design of landscapes. Landprints reflects a lifetime devoted to questions about landscape: the ways land is used and abused, the differences between Australian and European landscapes, and how the Australian landscape makes those who live in it uniquely, if ambiguously, Australian.
