MODERN GARDENS AND THE LANDSCAPE by Elizabeth B, Kassler, the first book to discuss the relationship between the modern garden and the natural landscape in terms of contemporary aesthetics, was published by The Museum of Modern Art. 
While exploring these interrelationships between man, land and plants, between 
artifacts and natural facts, Mrs. Kassler presents a view of modern water gardens, 
flower gardens, sculpture gardens, outdoor rooms, plazas, parks, playgrounds and 
urban squares illustrated in 115 annotated photographs, six of them in color. 
Among the works illustrated are the daring Mexican lava-landscapes of Luis 
Barragan, the boldly artificial gardens of Roberto Burle Marx in Brazil, the symbolically formal Mughal Gardens in New Delhi by Sir Edwin Lutyens, the delightful parks 
and serene Forest Cemetery in Stockholm, Sweden; the designs of Frank Lloyd Wright, 
Isamu Noguchi, Le Corbusier, Alvar Aalto, Charles Eames, the men who have formed our 
modern landscape. 
The contemporary landscape designer, heir to the anti-architectural style of 
18th century England — the pastoral parks and picturesque hunting grounds romanticized in poetry and painting — also inherits the classical Western concept of landscape design as architecture as well as the influences of Chinese landscape painting, 
Japanese gardens and Moslem waterworks. From this heritage, Mrs. Kassler concludes 
that the contemporary designer must create in terms of his own place and time, his 
own faith and vision. 
"Should less be demanded of landscape design as an art than as a science?" she 
asks. "Isn't it possible that a garden or plaza or park or boulevard must finally 
be judged as an essay in the tenancy of the earth? If it is to pass such a test ... 
it must appear to be of its place, not on its place, and its natural materials must 
seem to belong together with a more than formal relationship.

Size: Medium, Color: Dark Cappuccino
The dark cappuccino brown is pretty. This is a favorite just because of the color of the tote. The inside lining color makes it easy to find items. I like it so much I ordered the black one.

Super cute… but not what the listing is
Size: One Size, Color: Dark Cappuccino, Size: One Size, Color: Dark Cappuccino
First of all, this listing is entirely inaccurate, as other reviews say, the picture is of a larger bag when in reality you are sent something much smaller and without the small wallet. I wanted the smaller bag, so I ordered it intentionally, but if you are looking for the larger size, do not order this. I included a side by side comparison of the two bags. The lighter bag is the size this listing is supposed to be (that I owned previously) and the smaller one is the one I was sent. That being said the smaller bag is super cute and so similar to the Brooklyn bag! Just be aware that it does not match the listing :)

This purse has a good size for an every day purse. It’s a pretty style purse, and reminds me of the Coach brooklyn shoulder bag. I’m not too crazy about this bag since the material is thin and flimsy, but I should be okay.

Very cute bag, but not as described in picture. The bag I received is much smaller and does not come with additional coin purse. Disappointed.
