1 comments about Lost Gardens of England: From the Archives of Country Life.

1. Being such a splendid book, my only want is that it should be in colours. The book captures the spirit of each garden with pictures and words and it feels like reading a fairy tale.
   
   It also captures an era lost to us now, of grand houses and parties, ladies in white dresses and men smoking cigars and the act of creating exactly the garden fantasy you want whatever the cost. Some are wild, some are amazing, some ar just beautiful but all very interesting and nostalgic to look upon.

1 comments about Golf Greens: History, Design, and Construction.

1. Mike Hurdzan's Golf Greens is not an easy read straight through from cover to cover because it is highly technical. But I did it and I'm glad. It searches the subject in far greater depth of detail and pictorially than anyone has ever done before. Great coverage! And it doesn't always simply "sell the conventional line". I learned lots from it, though before thought I was already pretty well experienced in this important matter. I recommend this book to all golf course developers, contractors, maintenance superintendents and other golf course architects for learning much more about golf greens.

2 comments about Enchanted Ground: Gardening With Nature in the Subtropics.

1. With Florida as her laboratory and museum, Miami Herald staffer Georgia Tasker has shared her knowledge and love of tropical plants in this helpful guide. Unlike many books on the topic, this one provides consideration of hazards, such as hurricane, drought, and disease, selection and use of tools, attracting birds and butterflies, and creating peaceful, restorative environments. The usual topics are covered in addition - trees, shrubs, palms and cycads, flowering plants, and fragrant and fruit-bearing plants as well. There is a useful section on invasive plants, a short list of gardens to visit, as well as a bibliography and index. Much more a hands-on workbook than a coffee table book, it nevertheless inspires and encourages the beginning or intermediate gardener. For more information on some of the plants featured, as well as additional selections, see Ornamental Plants & Flowers of Tropical Mexico.



2. This is my favorite Florida gardening book.
   It's all here- how to choose, propogate and care for both native and exotic plants, seasonal advice, post and pre hurricane gardening tips, natural & chemical pest control, you name it. The book is informative, interesting and enjoyable to read. A must have for any Florida gardener's library and an asset to any gardening collection.

4 comments about Radical Reconstruction:.

1. One of the first architectural books I bought, because it was different. I didn't know who he was at first or if he was an architect. I thought comic would be a great branch into architecture. This books show many of this theoretical project that is base of a post-apocalypse society. This book displays his great hand work skills. He used mediums of color-pencil, ink sketches and some very powerful chip-board models. 85% of the book is artworks. There are some texts on this philosophy for his reasoning if you would believe it or not. I went to his lecture at SciArt and his new stuff is just as similar in style to his older works in his book. I no longer regard Wood as much of an architect or nor a artist. This book was good in time of my interest in the subject, but now it has no resourceful information.



2. Lebbeus Woods is perhaps unequalled, and definitely the most imitated renderer in the architectural world. With that said, this book is just a shadow of his masterpiece, "Anarchitecture: Architecture as a Political Act"

   I recommend this for thos who already know Woods and can't get enough of him, but as an introduction, definitely read Anarchitecture.




3. lebbeus woods bites. Get real.



4. lebbeus woods' visions cross the border between real and apocalyptic. his highly evocative renderings are rooted in his surrounding environment, but they move us to the realm of fantasmic architecture. brilliant.
