Excerpt from The Subtropical Garden: Or Beauty of Form in the Flower Garden This book is written with a view to assist the newly-awakened taste for something more than mere colour in the flower-garden, by enumerating, describing, indicating the best positions for, and giving the culture of, all our materials for what is called "subtropical gardening." This not very happy, not very descriptive name, is adopted from its popularity only; fortunately for our gardens numbers of subjects not from subtropical climes may be employed with great advantage. Subtropical gardening means the culture of plants with large and graceful or remarkable foliage or habit, and the association of them with the usually low-growing and brilliant flowering-plants now so common in our gardens, and which frequently eradicate every trace of beauty of form therein, making the flower-garden a thing of large masses of colour only. The guiding aim in this book has been the selection of really suitable subjects, and the rejection of many that have been recommended and tried for this purpose.

Architects, landscape architects and urban designers experiment with color and lighting effects in their daily professional practice. Over the past decade, there has been a reinvigorated discussion on color within architectural and cultural studies. Yet, scholarly enquiry within landscape architecture has been minimal despite its important role in landscape design. This book posits that though color and lighting effects appear natural, fleeting, and difficult to comprehend, the sensory palette of built landscapes and gardens has been carefully constructed to shape our experience and evoke meaning and place character. Landscape Design in Color: History, Theory, and Practice 1750 to Today is an inquiry into the themes, theories, and debates on color and its impact on practice in Western landscape architecture over the past three centuries. Divided into three key periods, each chapter in the book looks at the use of color in the written and built work of key prominent designers. The book investigates thematic juxtapositions such as: natural and artificial; color and line; design and draftsmanship; sensation and concept; imitation and translation; deception and display; and decoration and structure, and how these have appeared, faded, disappeared, and reappeared throughout the ages. Richly designed and illustrated in full color throughout, including color palettes, this book is a must-have resource for students, scholars, and design professionals in landscape architecture and its allied disciplines.
This book studies the phenomenon of land hunger. The author claims this feeling is general and may be regarded as a natural craving, although contemporary artificial modes of life can destroy it. Yet, even if lost for some reason, the desire for a private piece of land can reassert itself in later generations. Today, to tens of thousands of bread-winners in cities, country home is the dream of the future, the reward of their everyday battles. The author states that huge numbers of people tend to combine rural pleasures and advantages with their business.
"The Solitary Summer' by Elizabeth Von Arnim is a witty and heartwarming account of a summer full of relaxation and rejuvenation.

Heartaches, days of reading, and a summer full of needed solitude have made this book strike a chord with countless audiences to this day.
