Sinopse

In "The Book of Garden Design," Charles Thonger presents a comprehensive exploration of garden aesthetics that merges practical guidance with artistic inspiration. Through an engaging narrative and vivid illustrations, Thonger dissects various design principles, ranging from symmetry and balance to organic forms and color theory. The book is rooted in a rich literary tradition that includes both classic texts on horticulture and modern design philosophies, effectively bridging the gap between theory and practice. This work not only offers technical insights but also invites readers to reflect on the emotional and sensory experiences that gardens evoke, illustrating how thoughtful design can transform any space into a sanctuary of beauty and tranquility. Charles Thonger is an acclaimed landscape designer and horticulturist, whose career spans over two decades in both private and public garden projects. His extensive travels and study of diverse gardening traditions and ecological practices have profoundly influenced his approach to design. Thonger's academic background in environmental science, combined with a passion for sustainable gardening, fueled his desire to create an accessible resource for gardeners of all skill levels, emphasizing the intrinsic bond between nature and human creativity. For both aspiring gardeners and seasoned professionals, "The Book of Garden Design" serves as an essential resource that inspires innovative thinking and fosters a deeper appreciation for the natural world. Thonger's insights encourage readers to embrace their creativity while cultivating gardens that reflect personal tastes and environmental stewardship. This book is not just about design; it is an invitation to reimagine our relationship with the spaces we inhabit.

    Exploring Pittsburgh's Ups and Downs 
     
    In Pittsburgh, the elevation varies wildly, fluctuating 660 feet from highest to lowest points throughout the area and making it one of the hilliest cities in the United States. Throughout this unruly and physically challenging landscape, the city's first mass transportation system was built—a steadily expanding network of public stairways, locally referred to as city steps, these flights of stairs are a throwback to a very different time in history and a very different Pittsburgh. Authors Laura Zurowski, Charles Succop, and Matthew Jacob present the history of the Steel City steps and a walking guide to their scenic locations today.

    This is the true story of a woman who discovered a fascinating new way of living, refreshingly different to the rat race she had become trapped in. This new world was full of machoism, sexism and a complete lack of political correctness. Brizo entered a world where she was constantly surprised that being her filthy and inappropriate self was instantly accepted and even welcomed. She had glided into the world of sailing. The rough and rugged unkempt sailor types kept her dripping wet both in and out of the water. While Brizo was frustrated with the sexism that exists on deck, she was pleasantly surprised to discover that women are respected for taking charge down below. She found herself in a world where women were given credit for having many lovers and for being assertive in the bedroom. I suppose when the ratio of men is so much higher than that of women, a sailor is grateful he's secured a mermaid on his hook.
