Comprehensive overview of horticultural therapy.......2007-01-04
This is a valuable and comprehensive introduction to the use of gardening and other related activities to promote health and well-being, among a range of different clients, including children and young people, older people and those experiencing physical disabilities. While the introductory chapters provide a valuable and succinct overview of the theories that underpin this growing profession, some of the later chapters on specific client groups are less satisfying and would benefit from updating at some point in the near future.

Digital Zoology Version 2.0 CD-ROM with Workbook
ASIN: 0766832600 |
Book Description
Fish and Wildlife: Principles of Zoology and Ecology, 2E presents the enjoyment and wonder of our animal world. Captivating and informative, the book seemlessly integrates the principles of zoology and ecology with the lives of different kinds of wild animals that inhabit North America. The book gives descriptions of the lives, structures, growth, and classification of species in their natural habitats, and raises critical thinking questions to initiate the steps taken in the process of scientific discovery. The book helps readers appreciate how each animal is adapted to its environment, and highlights ways that humans and animals can reduce competition for resources that are needed by both. Whether for high school classes, local agriculture programs, or as a reference work, Fish and Wildlife: Principles of Zoology and Ecology, 2E enlightens readers to the principles of biology and how scientific knowledge relates to the survival of our fish and wildlife.

A truly intriguing, poetic, and thought-provoking book. The author lives in the Scottish highlands, with poor soil and a harsh climate. His "marginal" garden by design differs as little as possible from the surrounding wildness and requires little maintenance, yet satisfies the essential requirement of any garden by giving its owner pleasure.

Outstanding Essay on Gardening Science and History. BUY IT!.......2006-04-17
`Principles of Gardening' by Englishman Hugh Johnson is one of those rare and sometimes hard to find exceptional books on a subject which every enthusiast for an avocation looks for and often does not find. Almost all academic subjects have these `magic' volumes such as Snedecor and Cocheran's `Statistical Methods' for basic statistics and Willard Van Ornim Quine's book on modern introductory symbolic logic. Many practical pursuits I know well also have these `great books'. Cooking, for example, has Harold McGee's `On Food and Cooking' for the theoretically minded and Julia Child's `Mastering the Art of French Cooking' for the more traditional.
While many of the practical pursuits are enhanced by reading their scientific underpinnings, it is a mistake to assume that one cannot advance one's knowledge and excellence in practical matters without studying their science. In cooking, both practice, practical experience, and the senses are at least as important as `understanding' provided by scientific knowledge. One can know that lemon juice and vinegar are often interchangeable without any knowledge of the pH scale of acids and bases. Similarly, one can appreciate that impatiens likes shade while pansies like sun without knowing much about photosynthesis or growth enzymes. And yet, sound scientific knowledge can often take one further faster than mere practical experience, especially for someone just starting out who already has a good basis in physical sciences. Another virtue of scientific understanding, which it shares with historical knowledge, is that both simply make a subject more interesting and more enjoyable for the enthusiast. This is actually more important for gardening than it is for cooking, since most people have to live through three to five months of gray dormancy while waiting for the return of Spring.
The greatness of Hugh Johnson's book lies less in it's subtitle, `The Practice of the Gardener's Art' than it does in explaining the major topics of gardening to the winter armchair garden daydreamer. And, while this essay does include a lot of science, it is a very gentle science very much in tune with the sensibilities of the amateur naturalist rather than the high tech lab of the modern biochemist. And, the science is so well presented that I would offer this book to even a total non-gardener if they happen to be looking for the way in which modern biological theory based on Darwin's theory of evolution is successfully applied every day to make better tulips, peas, and azaleas.
The science starts with absolutely the most natural point, with the weather which to foodies is known as `terroir. If this seems obvious, I offer the fact that so simple a matter as two tulips just six feet apart bloom weeks apart due to subtle variations in microclimates due to differences in hours of sunlight they each receive in a day. The next chapter mixes history with science in covering how humans propagate plants. The third chapter adds more history by examining the natural geography of plants and where we humans have found them. The next chapter comes back home to examine how to make the best use of plants in our garden. The next chapter adds art to our sensibilities in assembling plants in aesthetically pleasing arrangements. The book ends with a history of gardening in major world civilizations.
If you have never done any serious gardening, this really should be your starting point instead of one of those hundreds of useful but shallow books on tips and species and tools.
Very highly recommended.
Know what's going on under the dirt, in the leaves...........2001-08-28
This is a very learned book. Want to know about the composition of soils and how they work and affect different kinds of plants? It's here. How the length of the day determines plants' growth--the seasons within the seasons? It's here. How fertilizers were discovered and developed, and how they work? The information here is deep and comprehensive. It's historical, it's scientific... this is not your average "how to garden" book. It will help--if what you want is deeper insight into nature. Unfortunately it's out of print, but you can often fined it remaindered at bookstores, or get it used here on Amazon. It's a great book.

Some interesting pictures........2006-02-01
I have not read this book yet - I bought it for it's pictures. It has pictures of some interesting planting combinations and hardscape applications. It contains chapters on Garden History, overviews of various styles (cottage, oriental, wild, parterre), "sense of place" (entries vs. landmarks vs. contemplation vs. workplace, etc.), elements of the garden (paving, light, water, structures, plant palette), a chapter w/ summaries of 15 diff. designers and a chapter on garden wisdom (planning, basics, revision & restoration). The book is well organized and designed and, again, has good pictures. It also has information on sources for plants and materials but since the book is from 1984 it is most likely completely outdated. Not essential but still quite nice.
