Includes bibliographical references and index."This book takes a deep dive into the complex and endlessly fascinating relationships between trees and the many organisms that rely on them throughout their entire lifecyles. Some of these stories will be familiar, but others, particularly at the micro-level, will be something of a revelation. Nardi examines every part of the tree to show how the tiniest organisms use micro spaces in leaf scales, twigs, or bark to thrive while larger organisms such as birds and mammals exploit the individual tree's morevisible resources and - in return - help seed dispersal or other types of propagation. Nardi's immense knowledge is captured in fully accessible text alongside his own copious and wonderful drawings, rendered in both black-and-white and color. The resultis a masterly overview that will guide the reader through the co-evolutionary history of organisms and their tree hosts"--

Gardening for acidic soils : working with nature to create a beautiful landscape / by Boland, Todd,author.; Ellison, Jamie,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Acidic soils are widespread throughout North America, especially in humid regions or areas with high precipitation such as the eastern seaboard and the Pacific Northwest. However, little assistance is available on how to garden specifically with acidic soils. In fact, most advice concerns how to make acidic soil less so. Todd Boland and Jamie Ellison take a different approach; they believe in working with nature, rather than trying to change it. A wide variety of ornamental plants, both native and exotic, thrive in acidic soil conditions or require them to survive. This book helps you develop gardens that takes advantage of acidic soil conditions, a feature that has too often been considered a detriment."--

Designing a vision / by Parker, Janice,author.;
Janice Parker's guide to landscaping is an intimate yet practical text, written with the aim of stimulating inspiration and enthusiasm within the field. In her well-rounded career as a landscape architect, horticultural specialist, garden consultant, teacher, floral designer, and speaker, Janice Parker has distinguished herself by rethinking accepted landscape practices and developing inventive, personal solutions for difficult problems. As an entrepreneur and principal of her own firm, Janice has extensive hands-on experience in every facet of landscape design, so she understands the process from start to finish. As a result, the work and projects depicted in "Janice Parker Landscape Architects: Vision and Process" are realistic as well as inspiring. They focus on the most important aspect of the creative process: the relationship. "A garden is a relationship: a relationship between a person and a bed of soil; between a vision and a site; sometimes between the city and the country, between our desire for it and our lack of understanding of it. It is our relationship to the natural world." Diverse styles of landscape projects are represented at all stages of development: from the vision, design, and plans, to the construction process, details, and plantings. Containing first-hand accounts of Janice's experience and practice, this beautiful volume is replete with case studies, anecdotes, illustrations, insights, and visual aids. The finished projects are displayed in a creative and direct format. Strong graphic layouts collaborate with insightful narratives to produce a striking and informative book, while verdant photography augments an incredible number of colour renderings, watercolours, inspiring artworks and plans of the projects throughout.
