ldquo;As practical as it is poetic. . . . an optimistic call to action.rdquo; mdash;Chicago Tribune Over time; with industrialization and urban sprawl; we have driven nature out of our neighborhoods and cities. But we can invite it back by designing landscapes that look and function more like they do in the wild: robust; diverse; and visually harmonious. Planting in a Post-Wild World by Thomas Rainer and Claudia West is an inspiring call to action dedicated to the idea of a new naturemdash;a hybrid of both the wild and the cultivatedmdash;that can flourish in our cities and suburbs. This is both a post-wild manifesto and practical guide that describes how to incorporate and layer plants into plant communities to create an environment that is reflective of natural systems and thrives within our built world.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A glimpse into my familys past!By RomanzwriterI am a fan of these Arcadia books that let you glimpse into a city or in this case; parishs past. What I loved about this particular book; was that I found some wonderful pictures of my own family in the first chapter. I am a descendent of the Wise family; and I now have a keepsake I can pass on to my son and his (future) children. The book really showed a well rounded look at many of the towns and even races of people who called Webster home and gave us a glimpse of what it was like all those years ago.I bought the kindle version of this book and since many of their books are paperback only; I hope that they continue to make more and more books available in ebook form.Bottom line: If Webster is your home parish or you have family from there; this is a must read. You might find your family pictured there too!
