FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 276 pp. ; 170 illus. 152 in color. -- with a bonus offer--; A leading figure in the New Perennial planting movement garden designer Piet Oudolf emphasizes plant structure as the most important aspect of a successful garden. Form and texture are valued as much as color and perennials--prized for their beauty throughout a natural life cycle--are used almost exclusively. Oudolf challenges conventional approaches to gardening that rely on short-lived bursts of color and constant maintenance and shows the delights of working with versatile expressive perennials to create lasting ecologically sound panoramas that relate to the greater landscape and the shifting seasons. This glorious full-color volume features twenty-three of Oudolf's most beautiful public and private gardens including the widely acclaimed High Line and the Battery in New York City; the Lurie Garden in Millennium Park in Chicago; Wisley the Royal Horticultural Society Garden in Surrey England; the Pensthorpe Nature Reserve and Gardens in Norfolk England; the Trentham Estate in Staffordshire England; Il Gardino delle Vergini at the 2010 Venice Biennale; the Dream Park in Enkoping Sweden; and his own perpetually evolving garden in Hummelo The Netherlands. Insightful accessible text by gardening author Noël Kingsbury places Oudolf's work in context and explains how each garden and the plants selected for it fit the specific environment. Oudolf's detailed plans provide inspiration and insight for all interested in small personal gardens and the design of large-scale public landscapes alike. . 2011. 1580932924 .

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 104 pages; 80 illustrations including 15 in color. -- with a bonus offer--; Masters of Cinema; Billy Wilder USA 1906-2002 is an undisputed master of American comedy taking situation comedy to the edge of the absurd in "Some Like it Hot" 1959. But he also made pessimistic melodramas such as "Sunset Boulevard" 1950 in which Gloria Swanson gives a moving performance as a fallen star and a few fine examples of film noir such as "Double Indemnity" 1944 et "Witness for the Prosecution" 1957. Wilder worked with the greatest stars and his filmography is studded with classic scenes including Marilyn Monroe playing the banjo in "Some Like it Hot" or holding her billowing skirt over the subway outlet in "Seven Year Itch" 1955 Jack Lemmon draining spaghetti with a tennis racket in "The Apartment" 1960 and Shirley MacLaine as a Parisian streetwalker in "Irma la Douce" 1963. His humour is often incisive and his vision of the world somewhat cynical but all his characters experience a moment of truth and for this reason Billy Wilder is primarily a great moralist. . 2011. 2866426096 .
