Landscape Research Group is concerned with all types and aspects of landscape, from wilderness to cities. It is a voluntary, charitable association, based in Britain but with a world-wide membership. Its purpose is to encourage the exchange of ideas and to promote research containing landscape. Its journals, Landscape Research and Landscape Research Extra, address the interests of a wide variety of disciplines and professions.

Whatever your involvement with landscape - as planner, geographer, conservationist, ecologist, landscape architect, environmental psychologist, artist or cultural historian, or simply as someone who cares seriously about our surroundings - why not become a member of the LRG?

21/07/06: Our journal, Landscape Research has reached an important step in its continuing development. The contents of this year's volume (Vol 31 2006) will, for the first time, be included in Thomson ISI's Social Science Citation Index and Current Contents/Social & Behavioral Sciences. This is recognition of Landscape Research's international status as a leading journal in its field. It is also excellent news for the community of landscape scholars, since it ensures that their published research will be picked up in searches and citation counts.

The following quotation, taken from the letter of support written by Don Mitchell, Professor of Geography at Syracuse University, is testament to the growing importance and profile of the journal:

"Over its thirty year history, Landscape Research has become the premier international and interdisciplinary journal publishing research on the landscape - a field of research of growing importance in geography, art history, urban studies, sociology, landscape architecture, and even law. It is an important publisher of research that examines the interface between ecological and social processes in a range of environments, from industrial or post-industrial cities, to indigenous villages in the 'developing' world. And the journal truly is international: its editorial board is comprised of scholars from all continents (except Africa and Antarctica) and articles in recent issues have likewise been from scholars from around the globe".

23/06/06: LRG would like to apologise to members for the delay in circulation of Landscape Research vol 31, issues 1 and 2. By the time you receive the notice you should hopefully have received both copies. If you have not, please contact Pauline Graham at admin@landscaperesearch.org, and she will arrange for replacement copies to be sent as soon as possible.

The explanation is that our publisher Taylor & Francis changed distributors, and there was a misunderstanding by the new distributors about the circulation list. Taylor & Francis have asked to pass on their apologies to all members for the inconvenience.

16/06/06: New German Landscape Research Network Formed, further details to follow.
