Wonderful Guide to Perennials!.......2007-09-28
Another winning book by author Mary Irish! I have several of her books, and the style and information within is wonderful. The first part of the book includes designing your landscape, as well as garden prep, the care of perennials and disease/pests. Much of the information relates to plant care in general, so it's a great benefit for any gardener. Add to that the pages upon pages of recommended perennials, with color photos, and it makes for a great reference book for the arid gardener.
Whoa, give this book a chance!!!.......2007-06-05
I feel this book deserves a much higher score for the information it contains about this under-represented area of gardening. I hate to see a book trashed for odd reasons and would like to elaborate on why I value this book.
One reader has a problem with the fact that this book is not for the Four-Corners area. As one who lives in sizzling Phoenix, I can relate to the disappointment of not having books relate to my area. (So few books relate to Phoenix that it's fantastic to find a good one that does.) The description of the book in Amazon and on the cover of the book may not have adequately given away it's low-desert content, but that doesn't make it a bad book. If the book had been flipped through at a book store, the buyer would have known whether the book met their needs. Buying on Amazon is a short-cut. The fact that we are giving up our ability to peruse every page is the down side to the ease of purchase and lower prices we pay.
Another reader didn't like the fact that everyone in their neighborhood had a copy of this book. Sounds like whoever recommended it was being very responsible in urging water conservation and in steering homeowners toward plants that won't die the first season they are planted. The fact that Phoenix nurseries sell plants that won't live here without excessive babying leads many people down the wrong path. Crispy plants are a disappointing phenomenon that plagues gardeners without sufficient knowledge of the locale.
Of all the arguments, the one about the photos being too small is the only one that actually pertains to this book. Yes, the pictures are small. But the book is so good that I'm happy to do a "G00gle Images" search to see what MANY photos of a plant look like before deciding if I want it. To me, detailed information about each plant is of more value than expensive, space-consuming photos. I am a veteran in the publishing business and if the book containing this many plants accompanied by large photos, the expense of the book would be phenomenal.
Buyers, give this book a chance -- and remember G00gle Images for an array of photos that will provide greater knowledge of any plant from ANY book.
A MISTITLED book.......2007-03-30
Ordered this book and was all excited waiting for it to come; figured it was right up my alley.
When it arrived and I looked inside I knew when I saw the map that it was about area like Yuma, Phoenix, Tucson, El Paso. The HOT areas of the Southwest. Well, there's a lot of the Southwest that is high and cold and this book is for the low, hot areas. If you live within site of the Colorado mountains as I do in the Four Corners, this book will be of no use at all. Too bad I was given no hint about that and now have to deal with the hassle of a return and pay for it too!
Should have called it something like "Low Desert Gardening" or something...
Great info, HORRIBLE photos.......2006-05-24
I own several Mary Irish books and find them immensely useful for those of us who garden in the desert southwest. Since I wanted to brighten up my yard with some perennials, I figured this would be a perfect addition to my library. The information about each plant is great, but the photos are often useless - they are so small that it's often impossible to see what the plant looks like, and some are taken from such a distance that even the form is not evident. The perfect book would have a long view of the plant form, with a closeup of the bloom/foilage.
Customer Reviews:
A Curious Knight.......2005-01-02
Well, I imagine those of you considering buying this book have more than an inkling of what you're in for, unless, like a previous reviewer, you are upset by scholarly, editorial quibbles: Does anyone really care so much if the editor altered amphibium to amphibian or not? Trust me, if you adore verbal arcana, the editor (viz. Robbins) has left enough unexplicated for you to go running to your unabridged OED time and time again. If his notes and explanations are short, all the more reason to rejoice in such need for recourse into other resources to delve into the verbal rich and strange.
That being said, methinks the best, most philosophic and topical section of this compilation is the second part of Religio Medici, the first part of which is, for the most part, involved with theological abstrusities none too cogent to the modern reader due to the discoveries of modern science among other reasons. The second part, by contrast, abounds with speculation and contemplation cogent and arresting to all ages.
As for Hydriotaphia and The Garden of Cyrus, let's just say that if differing forms of burial in antiquity and the reasons pertaining thereto pique your interest, or if you're obsessed that the number five in the form as its displayed on the side of a die may hold the key to the cosmos, as another reviewer has felicitously noted, you will be amply rewarded. Otherwise, well, you may find yourself dozing at parts.
Aside from the delight in outdated and antiquated wording and a unique style of writing that I haven't seen duplicated anywhere, even in the works of Browne's most illustrious contemporaries, the best reason to buy this book is for insights like those below interlarded throughout the text:
Life itself is but the shadow of death, and souls departed but the shadows of the living. Al things fall under this name: the sun itself is but the dark simulacrum. And light but the shadow of God.
We term sleep a death, and yet it is waking that kills us, and destroys those spirits that are the house of life.
For the world, I count it, not an inn, but an hospital, and a place not to live in but to die in.
United souls are not satisfied with embraces, but desire to be truly each other, which being impossible, their desires are infinite, and must proceed without a possibility of satisfaction.
If there be any among those common objects of hatred I do scorn and laugh at, it is that great enemy of reason, virtue, and religion, the multitude-that numerous piece of monstrosity, which, taken asunder, seem men, and the reasonable creatures of God; but confused together, make but one great beast, and a monstrosity..
Thus we are men, and, we know not how, there is something in us than can be without us, and will be after us; though it is strange that it hath no history, what it was before us, nor can tell how it entered us.
Just a sampling of apothegms in this delightful compilation.-Four stars though: At times, one simply wants to shout "Oh what tosh!" to all Browne's ramblings anent his beloved "quincunx".
Great writer, awful edition (Robin Robbins, Oxford UP).......2003-06-20
I'm leaving aside considerations of Browne's importance as a writer. There are plenty of appraisals of him on the net, and if you've found this page, you probably already know what you're looking for.
While this edition may be adequate for the casual reader, it's entirely unsuitable as a scholarly edition:
1) The editor has translated nearly all of Browne's notes without giving them in the original.
2) He has moved these notes from the margin to the foot of the page without bothering to number them. The reader will often find himself finishing a page, discovering a footnote and trying to backtrack to figure out where it fit in. Confusing to say the least, especially because Robbins intermingles his own commentary with Browne's, indicating the latter's with the initial B.
3) Protracted discussions of the text are confined to an appendix (and by protracted, I mean three or four sentences at most). They might as well be incorporated into the body of the text as footnotes, since he only provides six of these for Hydriotaphia, eight for the Garden of Cyrus.
4) The editor has modernized the spelling, despite Browne's well known preference for certain archaic forms. While updating the orthography is helpful (substituing 'j' for 'i,' 'v' for 'u,' etc.), Browne's occasionally unorthodox spelling should hardly present a problem to anyone with half a brain, and if you can't figure out that 'sceleton' means 'skeleton,' you probably won't understand why 'Man is a great and true amphibium.'
5) And obviously, modernizing the spelling vitiates the impact of Hydriotaphia, Browne's meditation on mutability, language and identity, and the anonymity of the grave.
6) Lastly, for such a shoddy edition, it's a pricey, slender paperback. The editor could at least have included Letter to a Friend or a selection from Christian Morals to round it out.
Unfortunately, there are no popular editions of Browne's work available at this time, and it's doubtful whether any shall be in the near future. Search out something used, and avoid this one if you can.
What song the Syrens sang; meditations on time and eternity.......2001-03-24
Sir Thomas Browne's works from the first half of the seventeenth century remain worthy of your attention. He is an essayist, akin in spirit to his rough contemporary Montaigne. He was yet another prose stylist of those fine days of the Stuart period, when the sun of English prose approached its zenith, only to be eclipsed by the English cultivation of melancholia.
The -Hydriotaphia-, or Urn Burial, is perhaps the most celebrated of these works. Its nominal occasion is the discovery and opening of an ancient gravesite, about which Browne, a physician, writes with better archaeological method than most of his antiquarian contemporaries. But this discovery is merely the occasion for what turns into an extended meditation on the funerary monuments of antiquity, and of the great themes of time, eternity, and the frailty of memory and fame.
The -Religio Medici- is a meditation, quite humane and somewhat skeptical especially given his period, on the prevailing religious doctrines and teachings of his day. It is a prayer for peace in an age that was marked by a great deal of religious strife and contention; not surprisingly, it gave doubts to most of the warring parties as to Browne's orthodoxy. Despite its generally skeptical tenor, it seems Browne himself was prepared to accept alchemy, astrology, and witchcraft.
The -Garden of Cyrus- is the most curious of these works. Its nominal subject is the "quincunx," the arrangement of five units like the fives on dice, and its use in ancient horticulture. But it treats this slight subject with such various learning, finding quincunxes everywhere on earth and in the heavens, so that when it's over it seems that understanding the quincunx might be the key to the secrets of the universe.

Book Description
This widely acclaimed book analyzes the political effects of scientific research as exemplified by one field, economic botany, during one epoch, the nineteenth century, when Great Britain was the world's most powerful nation. Lucile Brockway examines how the British botanic garden network developed and transferred economically important plants to different parts of the world to promote the prosperity of the Empire.
In this classic work, available once again after many years out of print, Brockway examines in detail three cases in which British scientists transferred important crop plants -- cinchona (a source of quinine), rubber and sisal -- to new continents. Weaving together botanical, historical, economic, political and ethnographic findings, the author illuminates the remarkable social role of botany and the entwined relation between science and politics in an imperial era.
Customer Reviews:
An excellent book.......2004-09-04
This is an excellent book, very easy to read and covering the colonial economic botany (rubber, quinin, sisal) in a true apealing way.
Best book my mom ever wrote.......1997-07-31
The author was my mother. The book, based on her anthropology thesis, applied anthropological concepts to the sweeping GLOBAL influence and changes of Western colonization using the British empire as the model. Its a ground breaking book, easy and interesting to read (don't mind the implicit occasional politics). "The best part" (that's an inside family joke) is learning about the relationship between colonial expansion, Kew Gardens, rubber plantations, malaria, chinchona (sp?) and Gin and Tonics. I actually typed an early version of this chapter and couldn't have been happier with the content

ASIN: 0892367148 |
Book Description
Plants in the Getty's Central Garden is Jim Duggan's sequel to the book Robert Irwin Getty Garden, Lawrence Weschler's account of the making of the Central Garden at the Getty Center in Los Angeles. Designed by contemporary artist Robert Irwin, this "sculpture in the form of a garden aspiring
to be art" draws thousands of visitors each year.
One of the key collaborators who helped Irwin realize his vision, Jim Duggan is, in his own words, a "hands-on gardener." His knowledge and experience were invaluable as Irwin selected the plants that would make up the interwoven "tapestry" of the Central Garden.
This colorful guide brings together informative descriptions of the growing habits and characteristics of nearly four hundred individual plants, with beautiful images by noted garden photographer Becky Cohen. Duggan provides suggestions for cultivating the plants, many of which will be unfamiliar to
gardeners in Southern California. Also included in the book are a foreword by Robert Irwin; three essays by Duggan tracing his involvement with the project; a map of the Central Garden; a plant location guide; and an index of scientific and common names.
Customer Reviews:
great guide to the plants in the garden.......2006-05-15
After visiting the Getty, I had to know more about the plants in that garden. This is a straightforward listing, with pictures, of many of those plants. There is also some information about Robert Irwin's design concepts which I found interesting because I was particularly struck by the color in the garden, which made sense after reading that Irwin is an artist. The only criticism I have of this book is that some of the pictures look nothing like the plants do in real life-- for example some plants that look almost black in the garden are hard to recognize because the small picture doesn't really do them justice. And not all of the plants in the garden are listed here, because they change. Overall though, I found this book very informative and inspiring!
Book Description
Two dazzling new interconnected plays from the acclaimed author of Communicating Doors.
Two plays -- designed to be performed simultaneously and involving the same characters -- set in the same English country house on the same cloudy August day, are Alan Ayckbourn's vehicle for a sharp and hilarious scrutiny of the destructive nature of human behavior and emotions. Friends, neighbors, and hired help are gathered in preparation for a garden fête at which the guest of honor, for reasons of which no one is entirely certain, is an alcoholic, promiscuous French movie star. The surly gardener steadily ignores various intrigues being rather noisily conducted in the bushes and garden sheds, the film star's agent is mistakenly assumed to be a chauffeur and is sent to the pub for her lunch, the dog does his share of alerting passersby to covert romantic liaisons, the kitchen maid breaks everything she touches, and an amoral London writer observes the goings-on with a cool and knowing eye. As the action, and the storm clouds, build toward the afternoon's deluge, politics, friship, marriage, sex, children, the interactions of the social classes, and the absurd anachronisms of the remaining landed gentry are all submitted to Ayckbourn's penetrating gaze.
Customer Reviews:
Compensation for the bland..........2002-06-11
As much as the plays "House" and "Garden" lack in moral lessons or even strong plot, they more than make up in idea. Written to be performed at the same time in adjoining theatres, House and Garden give viewers a great two evenings out. This is a excellent community or educational theatre project!
Book Description
Even from the name The Emerald Isle, it's clear that gardens are part and parcel of the history and character of Ireland. Castles, parks, and simple country gardens are all presented in this essential tour guide that features over 100 Irish gardens with lush photographs and detailed descriptions. From the imposing formal terraces of Powerscourt near Dublin to the mixed plantings of Glenveagh Castle's woodland garden, set in the wild Donegal landscape, this guide reveals breathtaking sights awaiting travelers.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent travel guide but not for garden planners.......2002-05-20
This is an attractive but brief outline of many of the outstanding gardens in Ireland. Reeves-Smyth allots 2-5 paragraphs per garden and uses good graphics to help you find your way around the gardens.
If you are planning a trip to view gardens, this is a lovely guide. If you are looking for more indepth information and images, it is rather slim.
Ireland's Quiet Beauty.......2001-10-02
Terence Reeves Smyth brings to this, his most recent guide to the gardens of Ireland, the knowledge, commitment and passion characteristic of his earlier books on Irish demesnes,castles and gardens. A widely recognized authority in this field, he conveys clearly and engagingly to the reader and traveller, an invitation to roam throughout the island and discover the beauty of a wide range of gardens and parks. While gardens are the focus of this guide, he offers as well, descriptions of other sites, perhaps the best of which is the Crom Estate in
Fermanagh, where one can visit the finest ancient woodlands in Ireland and spend many a dreamy afternoon, gliding in a small boat on Lough Erne.
The guide is set out in a very practical fashion, its size permitting thoroughly inviting descriptions of the gardens and information indispensable to the visitor, to appear on the same page. Accompanying the descriptions are captivating photographs, all but for one or two exceptions, taken by the author. One can only imagine from his charming narrative portraits of the gardens the hours he enjoyed, with their owners, while he undertook the preparation of this
book.
On a recent trip to Ireland I found this guide both a companion and an inspiration.

An expert's look at the benefits of supplemental 5-HTP and how to use it.
Customer Reviews:
Wonderful online review.......2003-12-30
I have been researching 5-HTP for some time, and using the web as a vital resource. When evaluating books on the subject, this one came highly rated by an online review by Steven Wm. Fowkes, Sr. Director of the Cognitive Enhancement Research Institute (CERI):
http://www.ceri.com/rev-sero.htm
I recommend anyone considering reading a book on 5-HTP to examine this review first. I would publish it here, but for the copyright considerations. Cheers!
Well-written, but anecdotal, not scientific.......2001-08-16
This is the only book I have read on 5-HTP. I have tried several different SSRIs for anxiety and depression, but I am not fond of their various "side effects." Having experimented a little with St. John's Wort, kava, passionflower, and SAM-e (which, as of October, does work for me, but inconsistenly), all to no avail, I wanted to give 5-HTP a try. I agree that Ray Sahelian's book is both hopeful and cautious. Reading it gave me hope that 5-HTP might have some benefit. However, while Sahelian does go to great effort to document evidence of this drug's success via the various (mostly European) studies and trials that have taken place with 5-HTP, it's clear that many of these studies are too small to be of any real scientific value. (Most involve only 20-30 participants.) And, because of the small scale of most of these studies, Sahelian's whole book has a very anecdotal quality to it. This is reinforced by the fact that Sahelian bases some of his conclusions about 5-HTP's effectiveness on his own successful experimentation with the drug. I also find it a little scary that, even though Sahelian does take a cautious tone, this book sort of presents 5-HTP as something that's mostly safe. However, we know very little about the long-term effects of taking 5-HTP. It would be great if our society was devoted to investigating something such as 5-HTP more thoroughly as it seems to hold such promise. Unfortunately, my few experiments with 5-HTP have not proved to be as positive as Mr. Sahelian's. I have ended up feeling extremely anxious and wired when I take 5-HTP. That's frustrating to me, as I would like to believe that 5-HTP could provide some of the benefits of SSRIs without the annoying side effects.
5-HTP Decisions.......2000-07-22
Regarding the previous two reviews, each has merit. The bottom line is that both books offer considerable information on the benefits of 5-HTP. For many it is proving to be a viable solution to the conditions that plague so many. Sahelian's book offers clear cut information that is easy to understand. My sister has taken 5-HTP for a while now and is seeing great improvement without suffering from the side effects of the SSRI she had been on previously. A site where she has had great service as well as a variety of product choices is iHerb. She is pleased that they offer several choices of 5-HTP with dosages as low as 50 mg. so she could initially start with a low dosage and then find what works best for her.
Very informative and practical.......2000-05-31
I disagree with the previous reviewer. Perhaps it was Michael Murray himself or a family member who wrote it. I have read three books on 5-HTP and without hesitation I can say Dr. Sahelian's book was the most informative, practical, and clinical. The low dosages he recommends, along with his personal and professional experiences that tolerance can develop and one should not use 5-HTP all the time without a break are all very helpful. I got sick from 5-HTP when I followed Michael Murray's recommendation of taking more than 300 mg a day. I got nauseated and threw up. I don't think other authors of books on 5-HTP have as much experience as does Dr. Sahelian.I'm doing much better now with the Medical Doctor's advice.
5-HTP is great, but this book doesn't present it very well.......1999-12-08
I have used 5-HTP and it worked great for me; I had immediate and lasting better quality sleep and improved mood that far surpassed the ssri drugs. But the book is really wishy-washy when it comes down to the personal comments from users; the comments are poorly worded, sometimes have no bearing on 5-HTP, and leave the reader wondering if this supplement really has any value. A junior in high school could of written a better book. Get the Michael Murray, ND book instead, it is definitely the best book out there.
