Dictionary Landscape and Urban Planning
The Dictionary Landscape and Urban Planning: Multilingual Dictionary of Environmental Planning, Design and Conservation, Editor: Klaus-Juergen Evert is the only dictionary of its kind. Wolfgang Oehme was one of the US assistants on this four language (German, English, French, and Spanish) book that took ten years to write. This dictionary was a real labor of love for Klaus-Juergen Evert, the former Assistant Director of the Stuttgart Parks Department, and the ten other assistants, including Wolfgang Oehme, who live all over Europe and the US. The first edition was published in 2001 and the second edition was published in 2004, both by the German publisher, Springer Verlag. The International Federation of Landscape Architects was the sponsor of the project. Now Klaus is working fulltime on a new edition |
