His new book, "Genius of Place: The Life of Frederick Law Olmsted," focuses on the man behind the designs for Central Park, the U.S. Capitol Grounds and the campus of Stanford University, among many other landscapes. Martin also writes about Olmsted's careers as a journalist, an environmentalist and an abolitionist credited with helping dissuade England from joining the South in the Civil War.
