Cloud Easton the meaning of titles; Lane

In reading the titles of the books themselves I start to question for what purpose there where created. Lane's Landscaps of the Sacred catches my attention in the mention of landscpaes. Landscapes as a panoramic view of things still does not quite cover what is being said here. Rather saying "Sacred Landscapes" implying that he was simply going to list and explain several divine places he instead chooses to say "of the" pushing that he is instead telling of several of the landscapes of those who consider them sacred. This is the difference I find intriguing in his title. If better opeans the door to more options and possiblities, and the posibilities of the human mind are endless so the most opean venue of title should be the more aptly appropriate.
