The cultivated wild : gardens and landscapes / by Jungles, Raymond,author,landscape architect.(CARDINAL)686638; Birnbaum, Charles A.,author of introduction.(CARDINAL)207127;

A long-awaited second book from the Miami-based landscape architect lauded by the Wall Street Journal for “dreaming up dense, thickly forested canopies that give way to modern high rises and million-dollar residences.”Color and texture burst forth at every turn in gardens by landscape architect Raymond Jungles. Sculptural bromeliads, swaying palms, delicate epiphytes, and vibrant orchids combine to immerse visitors in rich, lush environments that captivate the eye with layer upon layer of interest. Taking cues first from a site’s topography and conditions, Jungles combines tapestries of plants with unique water elements that enhance what nature has offered—swaths of grasses and succulents direct the eye toward unspeakably romantic Caribbean vistas, intriguingly pitted and mossy oolitic limestone monoliths create trickling waterfalls and hidden grottoes, and innovative combinations of native trees surround sinuous and calming infinity pools.The Cultivated Wild shows Jungles expanding to such diverse locales as Big Timber, Montana; Monterrey, Mexico; St. Kitts and Nevis in the West Indies; Abacos, Bahamas; and even the temporary Brazilian Modern Orchid Show for the New York Botanical Garden—as well as responding creatively to sites unique to his adopted hometown: rooftop gardens and pools including the penthouse Sky Garden atop the now-iconic Herzog & de Meuron–designed parking garage at 1111 Lincoln Road, along with its famous pedestrian promenade.Jungles presents 21 gardens here in glorious full color, many accompanied by highly personal hand-drawn plans, general and thumbnail plans, sections, sketches, and design details that reveal the creative process. Packed with inspiration for gardeners in warm zones and those interested in creating subtropical gardens of their own, The Cultivated Wild reveals a firm working at the height of its talents.

Selected poems / by Auden, W. H.(Wystan Hugh),1907-1973.(CARDINAL)141248; Mendelson, Edward.(CARDINAL)129523;

Who stands, the crux left of the watershed -- From the very first coming down -- Control of the passes was, he saw, the key -- Taller to-day, we remember similar evenings -- Watch any day his nonchalant pauses, see -- Will you turn a deaf ear -- Sir, no man's enemy, forgiving all -- It was Easter as I walked in the public gardens -- Since you are going to begin to-day -- Consider this and in our time -- This lunar beauty -- To ask the hard question is simple -- Doom is dark and deeper than any sea-dingle -- What's in your mind, my dove, my coney -- "O where are you going?" said reader to rider -- Though aware of our rank and alert to obey orders -- O Love, the interest itself in thoughtless Heaven -- O what is that sound which so thrills the ear -- Hearing of harvests rotting in the valleys -- Out on the lawn I lie in bed -- A shilling life will give you all the facts -- Our hunting fathers told the story -- Easily, my dear, you move, easily your head -- The Summer holds: upon its glittering lake -- Now through night's caressing grip -- O for doors to be open and an invite with gilded edges -- Look, stranger, at this island now -- Now the leaves are falling fast -- Dear, though the night is gone -- Casino -- Journey to Iceland -- "O who can ever gaze his fill" -- Lay your sleeping head, my love -- Spain -- Orpheus -- Miss Gee -- Wrapped in a yielding air, beside -- As I walked out one evening -- Oxford -- In Time of War -- The Capital -- Musee des Beaux Arts -- Epitaph on a Tyrant -- In Memory of W.B. Yeats -- Refugee Blues -- The Unknown Citizen -- September 1, 1939 -- Law, say the gardeners, is the sun -- In Memory of Sigmund Freud -- Lady, weeping at the crossroads -- Song for St. Cecilia's Day -- The Quest -- But I Can't -- In Sickness and in Health -- Jumbled in the common box -- Atlantis -- At the Grave of Henry James -- Mundus et Infans -- The Lesson -- The Sea and the Mirror -- Noon -- Lament for a Lawgiver -- Under Which Lyre -- The Fall of Rome -- In Praise of Limestone -- Song -- A Walk After Dark -- Memorial for the City -- Under Sirius -- Fleet Visit -- The Shield of Achilles -- The Willow-Wren and the Stare -- Nocturne -- Bucolics -- Horae Canonicae -- Homage to Clio -- First Things First -- The More Loving One -- Friday's Child -- Good-bye to the Mezzogiorno -- Dame Kind -- You -- After Reading a Child's Guide to Modern Physics -- On the Circuit -- Et in Arcadia Ego -- Thanksgiving for a Habitat -- Epithalamium -- Fairground -- River Profile -- Prologue at Sixty -- Forty Years On -- Ode to Terminus -- August 1968 -- A New Year Greeting -- Moon Landing -- Old People's Home -- Talking to Myself -- A Lullaby -- A Thanksgiving -- Archaeology.Restores the original versions of poems that Auden had at one time revised and replaced to bring his earlier works more in line with his later beliefs.
