Summary:
Tree explores the forms, uses, and alliances of this living object's entanglement with humanity, from antiquity to the present. Trees tower over us and yet fade into background.

Their lifespan outstrips ours, and yet their wisdom remains inscrutable, treasured up in the heartwood. They serve us in many ways-as keel, lodgepole, and execution site-and yet to become human, we had to come down from their limbs. In this book Matthew Battles follows the tree's branches across art, poetry, and landscape, marking the edges of imagination with wildness and shadow.

Summary:
One of the legendary figures in twentieth-century landscape design, Ian McHarg transformed the fields of landscape architecture and planning through his personal methodology, his unique curriculum at the University of Pennsylvania, and his own inspired writing. In classic texts such as his landmark 1969 book Design with Nature, McHarg painted an incredibly rich and exuberant picture of the organic world while conjuring up a vision of a more wholesome and productive metropolis. In this new entry in the popular Conversations with Students series, we are proud to make McHarg's never-before-in-print lecture "Collaboration with Nature" available for the first time. Captured on tape in the 1970s, the lecture is the sequel to Design with Nature. This is a must-read for anyone in the fields of landscape architecture, environmental science, and urban planning.

Par leur nombre encore réduit comme par la limitation de leurs moyens techniques, les groupes humains qui se sont succédé sur la terre ont marqué l’espace, rares sont ceux qui auront dévasté leur territoire au point de menacer la vie autrement qu’à une échelle locale. Emblème des multiples attentes de nos sociétés, la catégorie de paysage pose qu’il est temps que l’anthropisation généralisée du milieu terrestre se fasse sous le signe d’une culture de l’aménagement, c’est-à-dire d’un projet concerté équilibrant de façon prudente l’urgence du besoin avec la limite des ressources et se souciant de leur juste répartition. Les beaux paysages de demain sauront-ils donner une mesure à l’instinct de prédation aussi bien qu’à l’envie du futile, incarneront-ils une responsabilité face à la question des valeurs?

Summary:
David Cooper identifies garden appreciation as a special human phenomenon distinct from both from the appreciation of art and the appreciation of nature. He explores the importance of various 'garden-practices' and shows how not only gardening itself, but activities to which the garden especially lends itself, including social and meditative activities, contribute to the good life. And he distinguishes the many kinds of meanings that gardens may have, from representation of nature to emotional expression, from historical significance to symbolization of a spiritual relationship to the world. Building on the familiar observation that, among human beings' creations, the garden is peculiarly dependent on the co-operation of nature, Cooper argues that the garden matters as an epiphany of an intimate co-dependence between human creative activity in the world and the 'mystery' that allows there to be a world for them at all.
