Résumé:
Very little is known about 'The Green Florilegium'. Neither signed nor dated, it is generally attributed to the German painter Hans Simon Holtzbecker and originates from the library at Gottorp Castle in Schleswig, on the border of Germany and Denmark. The album now resides at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen. Recently the book was painstakingly restored, allowing the delicate illustrations to come to new life in their original colors. This volume reproduces the original work of 400 botanical illustrations in its entirety. It also includes an introductory essay and captions with basic information on each flower.

Résumé:
This is a story about the decline and rebirth of a 100 year old garden. Until recently, the Blue Garden, an icon of Gilded Age splendour in Newport, Rhode Island, was known only from hand-tinted slides dating from 1917. Originally designed in collaboration with the garden's original owner by Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr, and the Olmsted firm - founded by his father, the great landscape architect responsible for Central Park, New York City - it has now been brought back to life. Landscape historian Arleyn A. Levee tells a researched narrative about the garden's origins, development, heyday, decay and ultimate renaissance.

Résumé:
Avant d'être une réflexion, le jardin punk est une réaction épidermique, une riposte contre le béton et l'intolérable rectitude des espaces de vie. Il invite à discerner le potentiel de tout lieu pour l'investir, l'améliorer, reconquérir la biodiversité et faire passer la nature d'un statut dérisoire, voire inexistant, à un statut remarquable. S'émancipant des règles du jardinage traditionnel, les espaces créés (publics ou privés) sont décomplexés, plus libres, plus beaux, plus sauvages — et les jardiniers aussi. Le règne végétal peut enfin reprendre ses droits ! Fainéants, rebelles, fauchés, écolos... découvrez, au fil des pages de ce petit livre, les conseils et astuces (à transgresser bien évidemment) qui vous permettront de " punkiser " efficacement votre jardin. De quoi joyeusement lier transgression et transition.

Résumé:
On the eve of its 50th anniversary, the Landscape Architecture Foundation asked a diverse group of the world's leading landscape architects to reflect on the last half-century and present bold ideas for what the discipline should achieve in the future. Well beyond the public conception of the profession as "gardener" or "park designer," these landscape architects discussed their role in addressing weighty issues like climate change, urbanization, management of vital resources like water, and global inequities. "The New Landscape Declaration" brings together their ideas and experiences in essays from thirty-three preeminent thinkers, including: James Corner, Randy Hester, Kate Orff, Martha Schwartz, Carl Steinitz, Richard Weller, and Kongjian Yu.
