Rosemary Verey's Garden Plans1 review
Rosemary Verey
Angus & Robertson, 1993
One of the best garden design books out there
"Garden Plans" is one of the two most inspiring garden plan books on the market (the other is Barbara Damrosch's "Theme Gardens"). Ms. Verey has an amazing eye for color and design, and takes the readers through a wide variety of her gardens. My very favorite is the ornamental vegetable garden.
Ms. Verey discusses 23 of her gardens at various lengths. A few of her plans only hava page or ...

The Royal Horticultural Society Shorter Dictionary of Gardening 2 reviews
Michael Pollock, Mark Griffiths
Macmillan, 1998
PLEASE - It's not Horticulturalist but HORTICULTURIST!
The "al" means "Like" - this lazy language is just about as sad as when people drop the "h" pronunciation in herbal ... does this mean that it would be correct to say that there are "eeerbacious" plants!

The Gardens of Gertrude Jekyll2 reviews
Richard Bisgrove, Andrew Lawson
University of California Press, 2000
The Gardens of Gertrude Jekyll
As a serious midwestern home gardener who owns many gardening books, I was extremely pleased with this book. There is much valuable information in the way of photographs and writings. Gertrude Jekyll was doing 100 yrs ago, what modern landscapers claim they invented--that is, low maintenance, informal looks. The combination of her informal plantings applied to formal settings makes a ...

Statistical Methods in Spatial Epidemiology (Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics)1 review
Andrew B. Lawson
Wiley, 2006
Great book very bad writing
This is a truly great book on this subject, but it is obvious that the text is mostly transcribed lecture or lab notes. The writing is so bad (run on and fragments) that the publisher should have caught this, and should provide all of us who purchased the book a free revised and updated copy. But down to the real stuff. The author rightly critcizes the use of mapping rates by unit areas for to ...

The Gardener's Book of Color2 reviews
Andrew Lawson
Readers Digest, 1996
new ways to look at color
Lawson does a better job of presenting and especially operationalizing color blending than any of ten books I looked at. He also consistently identifies what is in the glorious pictures. I am amazed by how many authors do not do this. It is an outstanding book for a beginner, that's me, to make a garden look like a pro did it, and for an experienced gardener to gain new perspectives and ...

The English Cottage Garden1 review
Jane Taylor, Andrew Lawson
Seven Dials, 2001
This book captures the English countryside.
I went to England for the first time and loved the countryside! It is so vibrant. My own photographs have never turned out very well so I bought this book while I was there to capture the England that I fell in love with. It has a wide range of beautifully photographed cottages and gardens. I am online buying 2 more copies as gifts for friends.
