They have stood watch as empires rose and fall. But they also mark the passage of time on a smaller scale.

They have stood watch as empires rose and fall. But they also mark the passage of time on a smaller scale. Many who grow up near a favorite oak see it as an enduring presence in their lives—a magnificent constant in their changing lives. Artist Mark Frith grew up near ones of these oaks and developed a closeness to one local character—the Great Oak at Nibley Green. It was this oak that inspired Frith to put graphite to paper and begin a remarkable series of large-scale oak drawings. Now, twenty-two of his works are collected here for the first time in "A Legacy of Ancient Oaks".

While popular culture likes to link honey with these creatures, DNA evidence shows that it might be more accurate for Winnie the Pooh to be munching on an ancestor of Red Delicious. And while apples are modern America’s second favorite fruit (after “berries”), their origins lie in ancient China. These are just(...)

Although seemingly natural, the English landscape was generally the result of considerable effort, contrivance, and design skill, the glorious outcome of ''the art that conceals art.'' Taking many forms, the landscape garden might involve digging lakes, raising or leveling hills, or planting vast numbers of trees—whatever was required to show nature to best advantage. Illustrated throughout, this book uncovers the complex, multi-layered, and wide-ranging story of the landscape garden in England.

Designing gardens, parks and landscapes requires a holistic approach. It also requires extensive specialist knowledge. In courses and manuals the generalist or in-depth levels are frequently under-represented, or the attempted comprehensive view becomes too complex. "Landscape for Architects" now offers a fundamental reference work which is as comprehensive as it is practical and as holistic as it is detailed. Created in cooperation with the Architecture Department of Braunschweig Technical University, Landscape for Architects addresses the aspects of landscape architecture: "questions" are raised with abstract schematic drawings, and possible 'answers' are illustrated with analytical drawings of case studies from the 20th and 21st centuries in order to inspire the reader's own creativity and to support the design process.
