Based on interviews conducted by Ian Laurie and Michael Lancaster (and including a posthumous chapter on Brenda Colvin), the contributions come from Dame Sylvia Crowe, Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe, Sir Peter Shepheard, Professor Peter Youngman and Professor Brian Hackett. Their recollections cover such diverse tasks as the creation of the post-war new towns of Harlow and Basildon, the landscaping of power stations, reservoirs, forests and crematoria, and the designing of both public and private gardens. What is particularly striking in these informal autobiographical accounts is the development of firmly held views on design philosophy, education and social problems and the firm conviction that there must be cooperation between all persons concerned with the environment if its future is to be safeguarded.
