Notes: Mawson’s fascinating, and well written, autobiography. He describes his landscape architecture work as well as his involvement with city planning in Britain and Canada, working with William Lever, post-World War I Greek reconstruction, civic art plans for Northern cities etc. Mawson comes across as a highly significant figure, as shown in Janet Waymark's excellent recent biography. A very scarce and desirable work.
