Out of frustration with not being able to find a suitable text for his landscape design class, Hannebaum (Kansas State U.) wrote this guide to understanding the design process for those in the
field as well as students. With practical tips, diagrams, and b&w and color photos, he covers design analysis, the study of land forms, environmental issues, aesthetics, materials selection
and use, and the business role of the designer/salesperson (the non-sexist language is intentional). Includes plant material guidelines, a cross- index of common to botanical names, weights and
measures information, and a list of useful organizations. A 1988 copyright is the only clue to dates of previous editions. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
