GENEVA, LANDSCAPES AND VILLAGES

---

What will Geneva's countryside look like decades from now? Will it still resemble a vast, venerable garden maintained with pride by generations of dedicated farmers? Will the spirit of its centuries-old villages - homes and farms burnished by the stories of those who lived and worked in them - remain intact? Recalling the past in order to focus more sharply on the present, Geneva: Landscapes and Villages establishes what amounts to an inventory of the canton's countryside as it is today, and examines vital future issues such as the need to preserve a splendid heritage - but not at the cost of turning Geneva's countryside into a museum - and ensuring that those who "live off the land" are not gradually supplanted by commuters who "live in the country". The English adaptation of this book is by Gail Mangold-Vine.
