NOTES
Special features: The 30 minute video, Olmsted's enduring legacy
A biography of the man who made public parks an essential part of American life. He made enormous contributions to the American landscape, a park was both a work of art and a necessity for urban life. Olmsted's efforts to preserve nature created an 'environmental ethic' decades before the environmental movement became a force in American politics
Narrated by Stockard Channing
