Wildlife Science Connecting Research with Management

Wildlife Science Connecting Research with Management

Despite the potential synergy that can result from basing management applications on results from research there is a polarization of cultures between wildlife managers and wildlife researchers. Wildlife Science: Connecting Research with Management provides strategies for bridging cultural and communication gaps between these groups. Contributors present case studies highlighting the role of state and federal agencies and private organizations in management and research; the lingering disconnects between grassland birds quail and deer research and management; as well as the development of management techniques from field research rangelands management and ranch management.

Planting Design Connecting People and Place

Planting Design Connecting People and Place

Landscape designers have long understood the use of plants to provide beauty aesthetic pleasure and visual stimulation while supporting a broad range of functional goals. However the potential for plants in the landscape to elicit human involvement and provide mental stimulation and restoration is much less well understood. This book meshes the art of planting design with an understanding of how humans respond to natural environments. Beginning with an understanding of human needs preferences and responses to landscape the author interprets the ways in which an understanding of the human-environment interaction can inform planting design. Many of the principles and techniques that may be used in planting design are beautifully illustrated in full colour with examples by leading landscape architects and designers from the United Kingdom Europe North America and Asia including: Andrea Cochran Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture San Francisco CA Design Workshop Inc. Richard Hartlage Land Morphology Seattle WA Shunmyo Masuno Japan Landscape Consultants Ltd. Yokohama Piet Oudolf Hummelo The Netherlands Melody Redekop Vancouver Christine Ten Eyck Ten Eyck Landscape Architects Inc. Austin TX Kongjian Yu Turenscape Ltd. Beijing. The book stimulates thought provides new direction and assists the reader to find their own unique design voice. Because there are many valid processes and intentions for landscape design the book is not intended to be overly prescriptive. Rather than presenting a strict design method and accompanying set of rules Planting Design provides information insight and inspiration as a basis for developing the individual designer’s own expression in this most challenging of art forms. | Planting Design Connecting People and Place
