The Ecological Cycles that composes the Enviroment.......2000-04-12

This book is the base for the practice and teaching the Enviromental Drawing. There are essays and study cases about the necessity of considering the city health and the ecological processes when planning the Landscape. Taking the man as the principal subject, he tells a little bit about the Lanscape Architecture - since Olmstead, and and earlier intentions of treating the landscape that came from the first civilizations through the time. It's also rich considering the elements of the ecological cýcles that composes the enviroment - like the microclimate, the human and the natural actions, focusing on each important agent of the landscape, and giving examples of "how to feel" each case study, as an example for other situations.

Book Description

This comprehensive book provides a thorough scientific foundation on the growth and care of plants common to all horticultural commodities. Continuing in the tradition of the first edition, it incorporates the principles behind the techniques described in other ''how-to'' horticulture texts. By providing readers with a thorough grounding in the science of horticulture, it successfully prepares them for more specialized studies in nursery management, floriculture, landscaping, vegetable and fruit science.

Most referenced textbook.......2004-08-04

I was fortunate enough to have Dr. Preece as an instructor for the General Horticulture class when I started college. Little did I know that I would be referring to this book when I was preparing for qualification exams for PhD in Botany. This textbook is an invaluable tool for students who want to further their education

This book is by no means basic as the subtitle "an introductory textbook" states. In fact, this is one of the most detailed, and comprehensive books available on the subject. Covering everything from total plant anatomy all the way to pathology, nutrition, propagation, and beyond, it is an invaluable resource for any hort or botany student. Hobbyists will also find this book invaluably enlightening, as it can help them answer common questions such as why leaves on tomato plants are turning yellow.

Great book invaluable to horticultural students.......2000-11-15

I have recently completed a BSc (HONS) in horticulture and found this book very useful. I used many text during my degree, however this was the one I refered to most. I think that students particularily in the initial stages of a degree or diploma course would find the book most valuable. Many areas of interest are covered e.g. biological control of plant pathogens, irrigation and many other areas that may not be apparent from the books title. There are many good pictures and diagrams and each chapter has useful references. This book will also be of interest to horticultural professionals.
