Journalist Judith D. Schwartz shows how solutions to seemingly intractable problems can be, in the words of permaculture pioneer Bill Mollison, "embarrassingly simple." And surprisingly inexpensive, as the chief tools are keen observation and a desire to follow nature's lead. Schwartz introduces us to people around the world who are restoring degraded lands at any scale, in any climate, and often at minimal cost by embracing an understanding of how a given landscape "works" and allying with nature's inherent inclination to heal. The Reindeer Chronicles also challenges orthodoxies of conservation, such as that culling semi-wild animals like wild donkeys, reindeer, ordingoes is beneficial to the environment. Schwartz explores regenerative solutions in different landscapes: deserts, grasslands, tropics, tundra, Mediterranean. She also highlights various human landscapes, which may involve the legacy of colonialism andindustrial agriculture, and the endurance of indigenous knowledge. These stories show that land restoration needn't simply mean returning to a previous state but to the renewal of ecological function: restoring the water, carbon, nutrient, and energy cycles. And how this renewal can play an important role in stabilizing the Earth's climate. Ultimately, The Reindeer Chronicles reveals how much is in our hands. It provides a roadmap to help us reorient ourselves during a time of uncertainty toward productive, empowering work on behalf of the home we all share and cherish"--

Green grass in the spring : a cowboy's guide to saving the world / by Malmberg, Tony,author.;
Foreword -- Disturbance -- Overgrazed -- Rest -- Succession -- Overrest -- Holistic Management -- Quality of life -- Financial Weak Link -- Monitoring -- Community -- Diversity and Complexity -- Replanning -- Epilogue: The Keystone -- Acknowledgments -- Notes from the Soil Surface -- The Grasses -- About the Artist -- Life: A Poem by Tony Malmberg -- About the Author."While we do get cameos of roping steers and breaking wild horses, Tony Malmberg's GREEN GRASS IN THE SPRING is not the cowboy tale one would expect. Rather, this is a book about inner work and outer work and how the two reflect and inform each other. Tony's journey toward mastery of both his craft and himself is animated by Holistic Management, best known as an approach to land stewardship that incorporates the complexities of nature. Holistic Management is also a framework for making decisions of any sort--and correcting them, which calls for the courage to acknowledge where lack of knowledge, holding too tight to convention, or hubris has led to mistakes. Perhaps the most rugged aspect of this book is Tony's honesty with himself. This is not to diminish the often grueling work of ranching but to underscore the ruthless clarity with which he confronts his demons."--Foreword page 1.

As the practice of landscape architecture has changed so have the types of sites that designers are taking on. Projects now have to help connect neighborhoods, manage stormwater, cool urban centers, and provide wildlife habitats. In Landscapes of Change, Roxi Thoren, associate professor at the University of Oregon, examines how these new types of sites drive the design process and result in innovative and groundbreaking work that serve the needs of a wide variety of users. With twenty-six case studies from around the world, the book explores how the site can serve as the design generator, describing each project through the physical, material, ecological, and cultural processes that have shaped the site historically and continue to shape the current projects. Case studies include Queens Plaza in Queens, New York; the Buffalo Bayou Promenade in Houston, Texas; and the Jaffa Landfill Park in Tel Aviv, Israel.
