This informative, elegantly designed album of 100 luscious color photographs of plants in all their beauty & symmetry, is divided into Grasses & Ferns; Edibles; The Essence of Green; The Beneficial Green Plant; Leaf Coloration; Cactus & Succulents, & Seeds of Change.

5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECT PARTNER TO "100 ROSES", June 4, 2004

By	Brenda S. Weeaks "MyShelf.Com" (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Foliage (Hardcover)

Sydney Eddison is back, introducing _Foliage_, Feinstein's follow-up to _One Hundred Roses_. In the introduction, "Looking Beyond the Obvious," Eddison introduces Foliage as a collection ready to instill a childlike observation and pleasure into grownups. Alexandra Anderon-Spivy's essay, "The Architecture of Nature Enhanced," discusses Feinstein's use of the computer in his images, his talent, and man's love of nature. The rest of the book contains a combination of photographs and such things as poetry, plant names, and famous quotes. There is something informative or inspiring to go with each photograph. Each section is labeled to let the reader know what is in it (Grasses and Ferns, Edibles, The Essence of Green, The Beneficial Green Plant). Feinstein's grasses look picturesque and proud; his vegetables lined and curved and his various greens sharp and eclectic. My favorites are the Hosta leaves (pg 90) and the poppy flower buds (pg 94).

If you are wondering about the expense of the book, consider the artistic value of the photographs printed on strong, waterproof material. A book like this, which is meant to be treasured and shared, will become personally or professionally priceless. Expect visitors to continue glancing through it as long as it sits on your table.
