Major waterfalls.......2007-06-26

This was a good book if you are going big time waterfalls. I was looking for something a little bit simpler.

GREAT PURCHASE AND VERY HELPFUL.......2007-01-10

THIS IS THE BOOK YOU NEED IF YOU ARE GOING TO CONSTRUCT A WATERFALL ETC. PACKED FULL OF USEFUL INFORMATION. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Most complete and detailed book for creating Ponds and Streams.......2006-06-12

Good book. Pictures are good and the descriptions and details from the creation of Ponds, Streams and Waterfalls is the most complete of all the books that I have purchased or read. It could do a little better job of describing how to integrate a Bog Garden with a Pond. I still have questions about that.

Overall the best of the breed.

Great Ideas.......2006-11-03

The book was great for visualizing what we wanted and to convey that to our landscape architect. It also provided good information regarding care of a pondless waterfall.

Fairly detailed.......2006-03-07

This book isnt overly long and filled with over the top water gardening items most people cant afford. The applications discussed a common and to the point. The

contenet isnt bad for a beginning pond builder but you can gather most information from the book from websites online like pondmegastore or lilypons.

Beginners & Novices go ahead.

Great Teaching Tool.......2005-05-21

Great book to learn about building water gardens. Excellent resource and I would highly recommend it.

GREAT STARTER.......2005-03-16

This book is excellent for the price and with a handyman mentallity you might be able to figure our the blind spots yourself and commence your pond.

After readign the other reviews I purchased this book. I am very disappointed. I had a lot of questions and this book failed to answer them. It is not very detailed or complete. I found the book "Waterfalls, Ponds and Streams" to be much more detailed and complete. It provides much better quidance in building a pond and stream.

Book Description

When Ernest Hemingway committed suicide in 1961 he left four unfinished works--A Moveable Feast, Islands in the Stream, The Garden of Eden, and an untitled work on his travels in Africa. The edited versions that have come down to readers and scholars of Hemingway appear as distinct, disjointed texts that fit oddly into his oeuvre. Through extensive literary detective work Burwell has uncovered substantial evidence that Hemingway in fact designed the three published works as a trilogy, what she terms "his own Portrait of the Artist."

Customer Reviews:

Groundbreaking Study.......2005-09-28

This is the only in-depth scholarly work extant on the mass of unfinished books Hemingway left behind in 1961. Besides that, it is fluidly written, thoroughly documented, thoughtfully analyzed, and excellent in all respects.

It matters not whether or not the thesis -- that the posthumous works constitute a loose unified work -- holds up. To state it and explore it, as the author does, is to cast a lot of light on the very complex issue of Hemingway's last works and their difficult manuscripts. No one had even gone as far as to lay the groundwork for such a question before Burwell. Indeed it was doubtless necessary to proceed on some sort of hypothesis to go through these widely divergent manuscripts chronologically, as the author does, and to then present a coherent text of her own regarding her studies.

The author also has a great openness and sympathy for Hemingway and his tortured, insistent aestheticism. It shines through the entire work and raises it to a very rare level in modern literary criticism.

Amazing Book.......2003-04-08

'Creating Water Gardens' has detailed pictures and clear instructions explaining every aspect of water gardening, including container gardening, ponds, streams, waterfalls, fountains etc. It costs much less that other books it's size, and has more content. The project ideas are beautiful (and do-able), every plant has a picture and a long description. Every aspect of water gardening is covered, including the kinds of equipment you'll need and what it looks like. I highly suggest this book, it's definately the best I've found so far :)

Best book I have seen on water gardens.......2000-06-06

This is the best book I have seen on water gardens. It covers every step of the process from planning and construction through landscaping to stocking with fish and even maintenance.

Many options are presented as far as size style and building methods for ponds, fountains, waterfalls, and streams. Fully illustrated with color photos and diagrams this is above all a great "how to do it" book.

There is extensive coverage on choosing and caring for fish and other wildlife. A large encyclopedia of foliage including floating plants, marginals, ferns, shrubs and trees is also included. A photo, physical description, zones it will tolerate, & often some advice is given for each. Tons of landscaping enhancements are also suggested.

There is history of water gardening and plenty of photos of beautiful finished gardens to give you ideas as well. I can't emphasize too strongly through how important this hands-on book is for someone who want to create a water garden of their own.

NOT QUITE WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.......2001-08-21

It may be that one book, alone, can't cover this topic. If there is one that can do the job, I haven't found it yet. Nash and Hughes offer some excellent information and provide many photos of well-designed water features for the yard. In addition to those, I was also looking for more step-by-step illustrations of pond and waterfall setups but this book was a little skimpy there The section on plant selection they've provided is very useful, however.

Great book for the beginner and the experienced.......2001-06-01

Helen Nash has written extensively for many years about water gardening in all its aspects. She has developed a vast following and has gained well-deserved notariety. I own quite a few of her books including this one. As in all her other books, she is very thorough in helping beginners grasp the essense of what it takes to make their water garden succeed. If anyone simply reads and heeds what Nash says, they can't fail. My only disappointment is the lack of color photography. There are some very good photos in it, but I still think there should be more. This is the only reason I gave it four stars instead of five. A lot of people purchase this type of book not only for instruction and understanding, they also buy it for inspiration and fresh ideas. The only way to do this is to SEE many examples. I hope someday Helen will compile a beautiful book of photography that will be a true inspiration and foundation for present and future water gardeners. In the meantime, for those of you who want to build a beautiful water garden and need ideas, get in touch with your local garden club to see if there is a water gardening club nearby. In metropolitan areas there is usually a large group of people who are members of a water gardening community. They hold open house once a year so you can go to many homes and see their water gardens. Also, the Internet has many resources available.

ONE OF THE BEST FOR BEGINNERS.......1999-08-12

WE CHECKED THIS BOOK OUT OF OUR LOCAL LIBRARY AFTER REVIEWING SEVERAL BOOKS. ALSO CHECKED AT BARNES AND NOBLE FOR COMPARISIONS AND FOUND THE SUNSET GARDEN POOLS FOUNTAINS AND WATERFALLS TO BE GOOD ALSO. THE INFO. CONTAINED DESIGN, INSTALLATION AND PUMP INFO. THE PICTURES ARE IN COLOR AND VERY PRACTICAL--NOT SOMETHING UNACHIEVEABLE. WE WILL USE IT AS ONE OF OUR GUIDES IN BUILDING A WATERFALL.

The Stream Garden.......2000-04-06

The Stream Garden is a truly inspirational book designed to help the gardener design and create a stream garden. The photographs are superb and excellent examples. Clear direction is given for building the stream and there are plenty of plant suggestions to make the stream look natural. This book complements Water in the Garden by James Allison - which in my opinion is the best pond book on the market. Both of these books combine inspirational photographs with practical knowledgeable directions.
