Book Description
Jacqueline Heriteau, named Communicator of the Year by the American Nurseryman's Association and coordinator of the Plant-A-Row for the Hungry campaign of the Garden Writers' Association of America, is well-known among Virginia gardeners. With over 400 years of garden history, Virginia's 3-zone climate allows for nearly year-round gardening. Jacqueline suggests that one of the best ways to learn about the plants most suitable to your landscape is to visit one of many magnificent public gardens that are found across the state, including Jefferson's Monticello in Central Virginia and Colonial Williamsburg Restoration in Tidewater, VA. Jacqueline recommends 170 choice plant selections, including annuals, deciduous and evergreen trees, flowering bulbs, groundcovers, herbs, ornamental grasses, perennials, roses shrubs, and vines. An entire chapter dedicated to creating ornamental water gardens adds a unique growing medium to the beauty of a Virginia landscape. Most decidedly, Virginia gardeners will not suffer from a lack of interesting horticultural options.
Book Description
Gardening is now the favorite outdoor leisure activity in America. Homeowners realize the health benefits available from gardening and the potential increase in their home's property value.
Regional gardening titles offer the most useful advice because they provide credible information on the plants that perform best in specific states. Gardeners want information they can trust and use successfully in their own gardens.
The Mid Atlantic Gardeners Guide is devoted to offering the top landscape plants for four key areas of the Mid Atlantic region: Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and Washington D.C.

Great for beginners in our area.......2005-02-02
We recently bought our first free standing home on 1/4 acre in the Maryland suburbs of Washington. My original plan was to 'garden every inch', but I soon realized that was not a 'plan'. After going through several volumes and magazines in the library, I came across this book.
Its beauty lies in the fact that it helps the begginer to PLAN. The gorgeous pictures helped me decide which plants I like visually; the icons let me know immediately which plants do well in shade, sun or both; which are drought tolerant, which attract bees, which are scented, which are native; the list seemed endless. I also like the fact that the book includes water plants, trees, grasses and shrubs with the usual fare because we are fortunate enough to have dogwoods in our yards and now I know how to take care of them.
The reference guide includes contact information for area garden centers, including one about 15 minutes from where we live.
I hope readers can find a guide like this specific to the areas in which they live.
The best recommendation of all: after 3 renewals from the library, I finally decided to BUY the book - I'm definitely going to use it this spring and always.
Scant information, plentiful redundancy.......2004-09-28
Aside from providing a list and pictures of popular local plants, this book provides little useful information about individual species and their cultivation. Much of each one-page species description is pure boilerplate providing generic information on planting that is repeated over and over again throughout the book, rather than being stated once in a section on cultivation. Truly disappointing.
pretty good.......2003-04-03
I like that this book is specifically about the area in which I live. There's lots of good info here. I wish there had been more flowers listed, though. I wanted to find a smorgasbord of pretty, interesting and different flowers from which to choose. (I'm not looking to plant trees, so I just skipped over that section.) I think this book is a pretty good resource for neophyte or relatively new gardeners in the Mid-Atlantic.

THE VIRGINIA GARDENER’S COMPANION: The Insider’s Guide to Low-Maintenance Gardening (Globe Pequot)
Donna Williamson
The first guide devoted to low-maintenance gardening in the Old Dominion State
More than 7 million people live in this verdant state where the dogwoods bloom like nowhere else in the country. Yet gardening in Virginia’s diverse climates and soil conditions can be a challenge. Williamson’s down-to-earth approach cuts through the nonsense and presents good information that is proven to work with Virginia’s specific soil and climatic concerns. She helps people stay close to nature and the basic principles of gardening so that they can make better choices, have more success, and find more joy in their little patch of paradise. The low-maintenance approach suits most gardeners today, especially as so many demands on our time might otherwise crowd gardening from our lives.
Donna Williamson has taught master gardening classes throughout the area, including the State Arboretum. She is the founder and editor of Grandiflora Mid-Atlantic Gardening magazine, and writes about gardening for the American Boxwood Society and Loudoun Magazine, among many other publications. She lives in Winchester, Virginia.
Book Description
The remarkably complex pelvic floor and its disorders comprise one of the most interesting -- and challenging -- areas of physical therapy. And recently, common problems once considered taboo, such as incontinence, have become mainstream issues. More than ever before, a solid understanding of the structure and function of the manifold problems of the pelvic floor is vital to successful treatment.
This groundbreaking work brings together an international team of world-renowned experts in the treatment of urinary and fecal incontinence, as well as sexual dysfunction, to provide a comprehensive guide to the structure and function of the muscles of the pelvic floor.
Using concise text and clear illustrations and helpful photographs, the authors present all phenomena associated with pelvic floor dysfunction. The authors begin with a detailed overview of the anatomy and physiology of the pelvic floor, and then discuss all state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment strategies, from biofeedback and manual therapy to the causes of different types of pain and psychosocial problems. Detailed discussions of the specific issues associated with children, women, and men, as well as with rectal and anal dysfunction, follow.
With its thorough coverage, this highly practical text is essential reading for all health care professionals who wish to provide their patients suffering from disorders of the pelvic floor with the best care available.
Book Description
Incontinence affects four out of 10 women, about one out of 10 men, and about 17% of children below age 15. The most common reason for admitting a family member to a nursing home is the family's inability to cope with incontinence. It is estimated that in the US incontinence costs 26 billion dollars a year.
While it is common to exercise many parts of the body to stay fit, very little attention is paid to exercising the pelvic floor. Many exercises exist for the general fitness of the body, strengthening of the arms and legs and the abdominal and back muscles. Finding fun exercises for the pelvic floor involves searching through a great deal of literature; finding exercises suitable for men, women, and children that are fun and effective appears to be impossible.
This book should provide therapists with treatment ideas and encourage patients to ask for help. It focuses on exercises and discusses other treatment options.

Book Description
New three-dimensional endoanal and endorectal ultrasonographic and magnetic resonance imaging techniques have given better insight into the complex anatomy of the pelvic floor and its pathologic modification in benign anorectal diseases. Obstetrical events leading to fecal incontinence in females, the relationship between fistulous tracks and the sphincter complex, and mechanisms of obstructed defecation syndrome can now be accurately evaluated, which is of fundamental importance for decision making. Thanks to improvements in the diagnosis of these disorders, new forms of treatment have been developed with better outcome for patients. This book is aimed at general and colorectal surgeons, radiologists, gastroenterologists and gynecologists with a special interest in this field. It is also relevant to everyone who wants to improve their understanding of the fundamental principles of pelvic floor disorders.
