« Le but de ces pages est de faire connaître un des domaines les plus admirables de la nature : celui des fleurs sauvages dans nos campagnes. Des splendeurs à portée de chacun, mais que l’on peut piétiner toute sa vie sans jamais se pencher pour les admirer. On passe ainsi à côté de joies, à coup sûr renouvelables chaque année.

« Le but de ces pages est de faire connaître un des domaines les plus admirables de la nature : celui des fleurs sauvages dans nos campagnes. Des splendeurs à portée de chacun, mais que l’on peut piétiner toute sa vie sans jamais se pencher pour les admirer. On passe ainsi à côté de joies, à coup sûr renouvelables chaque année. Ce plaisir intense exige un apprentissage : savoir reconnaître ces fleurs demande un peu de patience mais se révèle gratifiant au possible, tant est grande la diversité des fleurs sauvages et leurs variations selon les moments de leur vie – et de la nôtre. Pour faciliter cette initiation, j’ai souhaité ici livrer mon rapport personnel à chacune de ces fleurs. » H. R. Ainsi, l’auteur présente avec tendresse plusieurs dizaines de fleurs observées au quotidien sous ses fenêtres et dans les bois de Malicorne, mais que nous pouvons tous croiser au cours de nos promenades : du Millepertuis perforé à l'altière Reine-des-prés, du Pissenlit Dent-de-lion (sur lequel tous les enfants ont soufflé un jour) à la délicate Véronique de Perse en passant par le Bouillon-blanc (surnommé Mars attacks à Malicorne tellement ils est partout) et la Monnaie-du-Pape (dont le nom fait référence à ses fruits plats). Pour chacune de ces fleurs aux noms évocateurs, Hubert Reeves nous dévoile une anecdote, une histoire, une sensation. Puis, à travers ses « Propos botaniques », il nous rappelle la science de la ronde des saisons, de la minutieuse pollinisation, des incroyables copies de l’ADN... Et oui ! C’est plus beau maintenant que l’on sait !

Phenomenology, Materiality, Cybernetics, Palimpsest, Cyborgs, Landscape Urbanism, Typology, Semiotics, Deconstruction - the minefield of theoretical ideas that students must navigate today can be utterly confusing, and how do these theories translate to the design studio? "Landscape theory in design" introduces theoretical ideas to students without the use of jargon or an assumption of extensive knowledge in other fields, and in doing so, links these ideas to the processes of design. In five thematic chapters Susan Herrington explains: the theoretic groundings of the theory of philosophy, why it matters to design, an example of the theory in a work of landscape architecture from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, debates surrounding the theory (particularly as they elaborate modern and postmodern thought) and primary readings that can be read as companions to her text. An extensive glossary of theoretical terms also adds a vital contribution to students’ comprehension of theories relevant to the design of landscapes and gardens.

City and country are generally regarded as opposites. But today’s landscape architecture explores both of them as a single system, making it possible to see the mutual dependency of these supposedly opposing developments.

Summary:
City and country are generally regarded as opposites. But today’s landscape architecture explores both of them as a single system, making it possible to see the mutual dependency of these supposedly opposing developments. In view of massive changes in ecological systems, as well as increasing migration and the spread of unplanned human settlements, landscape architecture is also being confronted with global challenges. "Out there: landscape architecture in the global terrain" is a plea to redefine the discipline’s position. Innovative but complex approaches are presented in examples of specific projects from all over the world. Landscape architecture today commits itself to the spatial systems that will shape tomorrow’s society.

Summary:
The bench, an apparently small and almost irrelevant object, appears to function as a significant object in both through specific physical placement and in a more general sense- that of the blended domain of aesthetics, garden history, architecture, spatiality and subjectivity. The bench acts as a powerful visual machine, regulating the reception of a landscape in what it(...)

The bench acts as a powerful visual machine, regulating the reception of a landscape in what it has to offer to its visitors. By transmitting verbal messages through inscriptions, citing other benches as part of a complex walk circuit, providing rest and inviting users to discover new aspects of the site, this highly polysemic element orients and disorients the visitor at the same time.

In an age of ecological turbulence, our understanding of the hills, rivers and fields we live among is more critical than ever. But what might the academic study of geography fail to teach us, and what relationships to the land might be revealed by reinvestigating the neglected knowledge practices of myth, history and legend? Michael Dames sets out to reconnect with the hallowed landscapes of Britain and Ireland, and finds them populated by ancient goddesses, strange rites, and embedded energies. As he voyages beneath the Neolithic immensity of Silbury Hill, past the chalk horses of Uffington, and the ravaged cliffs of Land’s End peninsular, Dames meets a wild community of holy cows, industrious bees, Sheila-na- Gigs, and Salmon women, channeling the peculiar folk tales they have to tell.

Summary:
Since the beginnings of history trees have served humankind in countless useful ways, but our relationship with trees has many dimensions beyond mere practicality. Trees are so entwined with human experience that diverse species have inspired their own stories, myths, songs, poems, paintings, and spiritual meanings. Some have achieved status as religious, cultural, or national symbols. In this beautifully illustrated volume Fiona Stafford offers intimate, detailed explorations of seventeen common trees, from ash and apple to pine, oak, cypress, and willow. The author also pays homage to particular trees, such as the fabled Ankerwyke Yew, under which Henry VIII courted Anne Boleyn, and the spectacular cherry trees of Washington, D.C. Stafford discusses practical uses of wood past and present, tree diseases and environmental threats, and trees’ potential contributions toward slowing global climate change. Brimming with unusual topics and intriguing facts, this book celebrates trees and their long, long lives as our inspiring and beloved natural companions.
