Book Description

February 16, 1999 1566701759 978-1566701754 2
Five years after the first edition of Landscape Restoration Handbook was published, its natural landscaping and ecological restoration techniques have become standard-and successful-practice throughout the nation.

Now, the Landscape Restoration Handbook: Second Edition substantially widens the scope of the original work. Approximately 250 pages larger than the first edition, new and expanded chapters offer guidance on:
  • Development of natural landscaping and ecological restoration programs
  • Education, regional planning, and increased biological diversity
  • Ecological communities species listings
  • Scientific and common plant names associated with ecological communities
  • Nurseries that propagate and sell native plants throughout the United States
    Naturalization has proven to be a "win-win" situation all around. Monetary costs that landowners are saving on maintenance and chemicals also translates to environmental benefits for the greater community.
    Landscape and golf course architects, urban planners, horticulturists, golf course superintendents and consultants have already put the Landscape Restoration Handbook to the test. Let the Second Edition bring you up-to-date on the numerous benefits of naturalization.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best restoration book I have found., February 8, 2010
    This review is from: Landscape Restoration Handbook, Second Edition (Hardcover)
    This is the best restoration book I have found. I am hoping that by back tracking the references I will find more books like this. So much of what has been written about landscape restoration is theoretical. Theory is good for making you think new thoughts, but not so helpful in actually getting something new envisioned and designed. This book is succinct, the information is densely packed but well written. I am a graduate student and have been reading about restoration ecology for the past 4 or 5 months. Finally, this book is on the right track with information that could fuel a great introduction, as well as more specific information that could be used as the basis for an actual proposal. The references are sound and respectable. I am relieved to have found it!
