Children & Landscapes
by Erin Knight

"Childhood is a time for discovery, and there is no better discovery for parents, teachers, and other caregivers to nurture than a child’s discovery of nature...With the information in this book, any interested party can successfully adapt any site of any size into a space of wonder and discovery for children.”


--Erin Knight, from the Introduction




 
Landscape Design for Energy Efficiency
Mary Taylor Haque, Lolly Tai,
and Don Ham

“Using the measures outlined in this booklet as a “system” is easy. Planting trees on the east and west sides of your home, installing pavements that are reflective and porous, and redirecting winter winds are all ideas that can be implemented for new homes as well as for retro-fitting existing homes. By incorporating these cost effective and innovative approaches to energy efficiency around your home, you can simultaneously reduce energy costs and create a more pleasant environment.”
