Sinopse

Waterfront Developments explores the complex challenges and opportunities of building along shorelines while maintaining ecological balance and resilient design. It emphasizes the importance of ecological sensitivity, adaptive design, and community engagement in creating sustainable waterfront properties. One striking fact is that poorly planned waterfront development can lead to significant habitat loss and increased vulnerability to natural disasters. Another insight is that thoughtful integration of renewable energy systems can greatly enhance a project's sustainability profile. The book uniquely integrates ecological principles into architectural design from the outset, advocating for a harmonious relationship between the built and natural environments. It begins by establishing the core principles of sustainable waterfront development and then progressively delves into specific areas such as site assessment, innovative building materials, stormwater management, and public space design. Case studies from around the world illustrate successful, innovative approaches.

Making Bird-Friendly Birdhouses...

Melvin "Bird Man Mel" Toellner,...

As popular as birdhouses are, many are designed with aesthetics in mind, rather than the bird's preferences and needs. Not so for the projects in Making Bird-Friendly Birdhouses. Lifelong birder Mel "Bird Man Mel" Toellner and pro woodworker Matt Maguire walk readers step-by-step through 15+ projects for safe birdhouses that birds find conducive to their natural nesting habitats. They begin with a comprehensive introduction to why birdhouses are so important, and why the birdhouses should be created with specific birds in mind like bluebirds, wrens, chickadees, owls and even bats! With additional sections on distribution maps, detailed plans, mounting instructions, and tips on attracting birds to your yard, it has everything you need to create a successful backyard haven for your winged friends.
