In his detailed exploration of cemetery architecture, Dedek reveals the impacts of ancient and medieval grave traditions and styles, the city's geography, and the arrival of trained European tomb designers, such as the French architect J.

Traditional French and Spanish patterns prevailed until the first garden cemetery--Metairie Cemetery--was built on the site of an old racetrack in 1872. Like the older walled cemeteries, this iconic venue served as a lavish expression of fraternal and ethnic unity, a backdrop to exuberant social celebrations, and a destination for sightseers. During this time, cultural and religious customs, such as the celebration of All Saints' Day and the practice of Voodoo rituals, flourished within the spatial bounds of these resting places. Over the course of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, however, episodes of neglect and destruction gave rise to groups that aimed to preserve the historic cemeteries of New Orleans--an endeavor that, according to Dedek, is still wanting for resources and political will. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Containing abundant illustrations, \u003ci\u003eThe Cemeteries of New Orleans\u003c\/i\u003e is a comprehensive and intriguing resource on these fascinating historic sites.","brand":"LSU Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50934097903926,"sku":"9780807180389","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/2301\/7526\/files\/81KmeUIcAcL._SL1500.jpg?v=1727983909"},{"product_id":"pioneer-cemeteries-sculpture-gardens-of-the-old-west-contributors-stott-annette-author","title":"Pioneer Cemeteries: Sculpture Gardens of the Old West by Annette Stott","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAs pioneers attempted to settle and civilize the \"Wild West,\" cemeteries became important cultural centers.

Meant to be places where the living could enjoy peace, tranquility and beauty, as well as to provide a final resting place for the dead, the garden cemeteries would forever change the culture of death and burial in the United States. The ideal cemetery would become one in which ornamental trees, bushes, flowers, and waterways graced the ever more artistic (for those who could afford them) monuments to the dead. Previous to the 1830s, the deceased were buried in church lots, in small and soon overcrowded public lots, and even, occasionally in backyards and fields. Graves were often untended, weeds and decay soon took over, and the frequently used wooden grave markers rotted away. Some turned to a movement emerging in Europe, in which horticulture was starting to become a factor in cemetery planning, at a time in which cemetery planning itself was a novel idea. New England was the first region in America to take up the new ideals. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first such cemetery, Mt. Auburn, opened in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1831, and Mount Hope Cemetery, in Bangor, Maine, followed in 1834. Today, these cemeteries are both beautiful places to visit and important historical sites. The author takes readers on a historical tour of eighteen of the Northeast's garden cemeteries, exploring the landscape architecture, the stunning beauty, and delving into the rich history of both the sites and of those who are buried there.","brand":"Down East Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51148803178806,"sku":"9781608939077","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/2301\/7526\/files\/91af1BhxxNL._SL1500.jpg?v=1729792945"},{"product_id":"the-witchs-forest-trees-in-magic-folklore-and-traditional-remedies-by-lawrence-sandra-author-kew-royal-botanic-gardens-author","title":"Witch's Forest","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThere is more folklore, mythology and magic associated with our trees and forests than with any other living things.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnown throughout the world as dark and wild places where witches make mischief and eerie creatures dwell, forests are also places of sanctuary for the ancient magic and the most enchanting species of trees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKew: Witch's Forest\u003c\/i\u003e is a beautifully illustrated, captivating journey through the magical woodland and its stories, from birch broomsticks and the sacred olive, to alder doorways and the Tree of Life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Welbeck","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51149397426486,"sku":"9781802795370","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/2301\/7526\/files\/91mvkxwUcZL._UF1000_1000_QL80.jpg?v=1729810833"},{"product_id":"wild-tales-from-early-medieval-britain-by-jeffs-amy-author","title":"Wild","description":"\u003cb\u003eAn evocative journey into early medieval Britain, where myth and wilderness intertwine - brought to life by Amy Jeffs' original linocut art.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStep into the wilderness of early medieval Britain with \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eWild\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, a captivating collection of myths, legends, and reimagined tales from the sixth to tenth centuries.
