Book Description

ISBN-10: 013096882X | ISBN-13: 978-0130968821 | Publication Date: January 11, 2002 | Edition: CD-Rom

LARCH fills the need for a low cost, heavily illustrated, introductory, interactive course book to supplement lectures and technical reference books. It does not assume that the reader is already familiar with the material, as most technical references do, and offers a combination of scope, value, and unique interactivity. LARCH is a media-rich delivery system for all kinds of examples and illustrations of the technical aspects of landscape architecture. From Eratosthenes to Descartes to Robert Manning, from hard-core number-crunching calculations to humorous images of where and how we park our cars, LARCH takes the reader through an interactive exploration of the profession's technical side in a way that no regular textbook can possibly do. For Landscape Architects and Architects as reference and for review for professional Licensure examinations. LARCH covers much of the material covered on both the L.A.R.E. and N.C.A.R.B. examinations.

I can't think of a better way of grasping the fundamentals of civil engineering and landscape architecture than by using this software. The fact that it is interactive facilitates your comprehension and builds your confidence over the problems presented, and there are plenty of practice problems.

You can read all the books you want on the subject, but none will make you proficient at "doing it" like this software.

Great tool.
