| A fine peice of garden history that shows up many publications in the field for the facile coffee table books they are. This thoroughly researched, lucidly written work places garden design squarely in its cultural and political context. The narrative is perhaps tighter in the 16th century chapters before the increasing rate of change of the 17th century makes it a little less coherant, but the only real quibble is that the author does not look at Tudor gardens beyond the royal palaces and prodigy houses nor how the design of great Jacobean gardens (particularly the royal gardens) filtered down to the lesser nobility. This might have given more examples to work with, even if it meant stretching the time frame slightly later. |

| This book is very interesting; i don't work in forestry, but as a countryside type of person it was good to find out how the ecology of modern Britain came about. It concentrates its examples on the south and south east of England, but is useful for playing amateur detective in any area with trees or woodland. it will help you understand why our ancestors kept or destroyed woods, and why the land arround you looks the way it does. |

| As some of you may know, the LEED building rating system focuses on 6 key areas: Sustainable site development (SS), water savings/efficiency (WE), energy & atmosphere (EA), materials and resource (MR), indoor environmental quality (IEQ), and innovations & design process (ID).
"Rain Gardens: Managing Water Sustainably in the Garden and Designed Landscape" is a very useful book on water savings/efficiency (WE). It described various ways of caturing, channeling, diverting and re-using water from rain and snow, including permeable paving, storm-water chains, bioretention ponds and green roofs. Rain gardens create great environment for wild life. They are visually pleasant, economical and sustainable. I live very close to several of ... Read More |

| I have read quit a few 'how-to' books and one or two 'art of' books about Japanese Gardens/Gardening, and this one is simply the best. Chronically ordered, the author summarised the garden style of each period in Japanese history with abstractions, eg: The Kamakura era -- Rocks in the sand: Gardens of austerity The Azuchi-Momoyama era -- Path and goal: Gardens of seclusion Which is really helpful to understand the tendency of the evolution of Japanese gardens.
