Robert’s Comments on “Paul’s Response”:
Challenging the Pictorial: Recent Landscape Practice by Julie Czerniak
This reader developed parallel conclusions to the poster regarding Czerniak’s holistic view of landscapes. Landscapes (by design and implementation) should take into account the complex environments that they interact with and eventually help to define. Additional insight was gleaned by this reader as to the driving force behind Czerniak’s article. This reader judged it solely as a book review.
The Machine in the Garden by Leo Marx
A focused concise review of a review. This reader found the deductions made by the poster to be fairly synonymous with his own and the other bloggers on this site.
Transparency: Literal and Phenomenal by Rowe and Slutzky
This reader appreciated Paul’s reasoning as to the apparent complexity behind Rowe/Slutzky’s submission. However this reader believes the article was intentionally pedantic. The blog does help to clarify the gist of the article. While it is obvious that Rowe/Slutzky opened new avenues of thought to Paul (and this reader) in regards to Transparency, the concept as a whole is not presented clearly (no pun intended) to Paul or anyone else on this blog. Paul’s final thought pretty much sum’s up this reader’s (and the classes according to an informal poll) opinion on the article.

Well said. I couldn't agree more.
