Valerie Easton
Timber Press, 2009
Great ideas!
I have a large, intensely gardened yard and have been looking for ideas of how to landscape the parts of the yard that I haven't yet gotten to in a way that would be lower maintenance. This book has lots of good ideas, photos, plant lists and tips to help. Highly recommended!

The American Meadow Garden: Creating a Natural Alternative to the Traditional Lawn6 reviews
John Greenlee
Timber Press, 2009
Ahhhhh! Finally a true guide for the modern-minded gardener.
Though I pre-ordered this book and waited for three (3) months for the release, I now realize that I have actually been waiting for this book for years! After reading the American Meadow Garden, I feel positively free to dig up my lawn and replace it with a wonderland of ornamental grasses and native perennials.
I have been gardening on the East Coast for over 25 years and have been huge fan ...

Landscape Painting: Essential Concepts and Techniques for Plein Air and Studio Practice11 reviews
Mitchell Albala
Watson-Guptill, 2009
Best book on the subject available
Painter/educator Mitch Albala has put together a terrific book for the landscape painter which is destined to become a standard in the field. As an amateur painter, I am in constant struggle on how to organize, simplify and avoid literal representation. Albala addresses all of this head on in a way that I can connect with. Somehow, he just does it better than others who have published similar ...

Changes in the Land, Revised Edition: Indians, Colonists, and the Ecology of New England25 reviews
William Cronon
Hill and Wang, 2003
A New Portal into History
Cronon turns classic historical discussion about people and events and puts it under the lens of ecology. This was a groundbreaking book that changed the way historians can look at history - they even have a name for it: Environmental History.
I took Cronon's class at the University of Wisconsin, so was, of course, forced to read this book. But it was fascinating. And it's the book that ...

The Geography of Nowhere: The Rise and Decline of America's Man-Made Landscape56 reviews
James Howard Kunstler
Free Press, 1994
Biting Criticism of the American Lifestyle
Far too often, criticisms of deep-seeded cultural problems published in mainstream novels are filled with fallacious arguments, empty platitudes, and even deliberately fabricated facts. Not so in James Howard Kunstler's witty, often angry yet elegantly written novel, The Geography of Nowhere. The premise is this: Due to an unfortunate history of short-sighted, corporate-led urban planning, ...

The Secret Garden Calendar 20105 reviews
CC Smith & Hawken
Workman Publishing Company, 2009
Beautiful calendar
I have purchased this calendar for several years now. Every year I think I'll choose something different, but always order the Secret Garden calendar. I lived in England for a year, and it reminds me of the small, well tended gardens I saw on country drives. The pictures of the gardens on my wall give a bit of peace and quiet to the fast pace of life that that most of us lead. I am a visual ...

Reviewing: "Landscaping With Fruit" by Lee Reich
Growing your own vegetables and fruits has come back into favor in the last year thanks to the bad economy. Instead of focusing primarily on beauty in the landscape a lot of folks went in a new direction and began planting with the idea of growing food. As the author notes in the introduction, one can plant fruit producing plants that also provide beauty in the landscape.
After the ...

Islands Gallery Calendar 201011 reviews
CC Workman Publishing
Workman Publishing Company, 2009
Wonderful calendars, buy them every year
I first got one of these calendars a few years ago at my local membership wholesale club. They don't carry them there anymore, but amazon of course has everything practically. These are the best calendars. It is very relaxing each day to see a new beautiful island scene, a few of which I recognize from my own travels.

Wisdom Sits in Places: Landscape and Language Among the Western Apache11 reviews
Keith H. Basso
University of New Mexico Press, 1996
Fascinating, Interesting, and Quite Simply Amazing
There is nothing I can say that would do any justice as to how great this book is. It was everything you could possibly hope for in an ethnographic text. You learn a lot about a culture very different from ours and it is truly just fascinating!
