Download or read book Understanding Garden Design written by Vanessa Gardner Nagel and published by Timber Press. This book was released on 2010-08-18 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designing a garden is a complex task. Where do you start? What kind of skills do you need? What are the logical steps in creating a design? How do you communicate your ideas to a client, and how do you accommodate a client’s requests while maintaining the integrity of the project? The answers to these questions, and many more, can all be found in Understanding Garden Design. Most books on garden design focus on only one or a few aspects of garden design—choosing plants or creating a hardscape, for example. This comprehensive, accessible book lays out the entire process from start to finish in clear, precise language that avoids the pitfalls of “designspeak.” In fact, garden owners and clients of garden designers who want to understand more about the designer’s craft will be able to profit from the book’s lessons. Among the many topics covered are how to document a site, how to determine what a client needs and wants from the garden, how to take architectural features into consideration, how to think about circulation and lay out paths, how to use basic design principles, how to work with plants, and how to create a final design. Practical aspects are clearly laid out, including working with contractors and staying on top of the various phases of construction. This thorough handbook is profusely illustrated with helpful photographs and diagrams. A particularly interesting tool is the hypothetical garden plan that appears in each chapter to show how to apply the topics at hand. A practical, logical approach to the planning, design, and installation of a garden, this volume will be an invaluable resource for students, landscape professionals, and garden designers.

Download or read book Living the Cycle Within the Circle written by Tess Marcin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-10-03 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LIVING THE CYCLE WITHIN THE CIRCLE (Living Life) By Tess Marcin . . . An excerpt . . . When anyone touts mind, the thinking process, the result, one cannot leave God out of the equation. Hu- man achievement is not just a product of man, it is an achievement of God, by God, through the mind used by man. The reasoning process is as complicated as the mind it makes its way through. Through the pro- cess of thought, of rationalization, of objectivity, one is using one’s intellect to live this life. Mind emits the material, but how does it get into mind, where does it come from, and who or what is doing the reasoning through mind? No one can use mind for any purpose without acknowledging where it came from. God does not impose his will on man, it is man who does his own imposing. Man cannot talk about the metaphysical in any context without admitting that what he views as reality is not the true reality. Man will continue destroying himself because he does not know who he truly is. He lives in the world of the human, gives it the reality, but ignores the before, as well as the aftermath! For those who tout that this is reality, that this is who they are, one would pose the question, “When the so-called reality of this world gives way, along with the physical, what will “you” encounter?” Will it seem as real, or will it reveal itself as the true reality? And what will your reaction be? That the reality of the physical was a fake reality? That everything is with one in the new realm? Mind, spirit, conscience? Man can argue the principle of anything, but it is man putting his own spin on his own perspective. To rationalize, to reason, does not necessarily bring the right answer, only the answer as seen from the standpoint of the one doing the reasoning. The coin with two sides is applicable in all situations, but this does not mean that one should abandon his principles. There are the high roads of principles, and there are the low roads of principles, and choice steps in to decide which road to take. Values, morals, ethics, etc., can be subverted when one takes the low principle road. Man has the knack of seeking his own path and it is not always the better one, or the right one. Man, today, believes himself to be highly intelligent, is he? When he, through the process of rationalization, of reason, begins to analyze his intellect, something important is missing . . . The thought of who is doing the analyzing. Man can no more help making himself look good because he allows his ego to intervene. We all live by our own philosophies, so man is never more or less than he thinks he is. He lives his life within his cycle in time and is puzzled when the cycle is over and his spirit is living life in no-time. This is the circle in action.

Download or read book The Blaise Conjunction written by Richard Leviton and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The councilors had placed a book upon the table, its cover pale blue edged in silver. The title was The Theosophon. They slid it towards me. Philomena Wilcox, Ph.D., retired professor of music, pianist, passionate devotee of Russian composers like Scriabin and Rachmaninov, thinks she is merely editing a series of prolix journals by the desert recluse Blaise. One day in 2029 she took delivery of 7,000 pages of his arcane diary entries spanning a 20-year period. His story what he thinks and writes about is exceedingly odd, mystical, and perplexing. He is anticipating a planetary event to take place in 2033. Soon enough, Philomena discovers she, impossibly, is part of this story, in fact, will be a keystone in this epochal event. It's as if through the journal pages Blaise talks directly to her and pulls her into his world of wisdom-angels, geomantic patterns, and designer planets. The pages are encoded with activation triggers. Over a three-year period, she starts to remember her true story, her astonishing past. It's a nonstop tutorial in the Mysteries. Taught by the human Blaise and his angelic mentors, also called Blaise, seemingly right now, in the present moment. Except upwards of 35 years or more separate them in the world of linear time. Her familiar world starts to fall apart. The event is called the Theosophon. Blaise writes about it, but she designed it. That's startling enough, but Philomena is astonished to remember that she designed it eons ago in another galaxy. The Earth was created as a performance stage for it. The Theosophon is a multidimensional musical event involving the collective consciousness of humanity, the Earth, and the spiritual world. The overture of the fulfillment of the purpose of the Earth and humanity. Yes, Philomena is an integral part of this unique event, but it will cost her more than she ever thought possible.

Download or read book The Innovators written by Walter Isaacson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following his blockbuster biography of Steve Jobs, Walter Isaacson’s New York Times bestselling and critically acclaimed The Innovators is a “riveting, propulsive, and at times deeply moving” (The Atlantic) story of the people who created the computer and the internet. What were the talents that allowed certain inventors and entrepreneurs to turn their visionary ideas into disruptive realities? What led to their creative leaps? Why did some succeed and others fail? The Innovators is a masterly saga of collaborative genius destined to be the standard history of the digital revolution—and an indispensable guide to how innovation really happens. Isaacson begins the adventure with Ada Lovelace, Lord Byron’s daughter, who pioneered computer programming in the 1840s. He explores the fascinating personalities that created our current digital revolution, such as Vannevar Bush, Alan Turing, John von Neumann, J.C.R. Licklider, Doug Engelbart, Robert Noyce, Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs, Tim Berners-Lee, and Larry Page. This is the story of how their minds worked and what made them so inventive. It’s also a narrative of how their ability to collaborate and master the art of teamwork made them even more creative. For an era that seeks to foster innovation, creativity, and teamwork, The Innovators is “a sweeping and surprisingly tenderhearted history of the digital age” (The New York Times).

This book was released on 2024-06-30 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Towards a New Social Contract Ars Electronica 2023 is dedicated to the complex questions of truth and the concept of ownership in this digital age. In doing so, the festival navigates the central questions of our time. The focus is on how our perception of "authentic" and "original" is being transformed and whether truth can be owned, and how this relates to digitalization and the rapidly developing performance of artificial intelligence. How can the achievements of a tool that is so much based on the globally collective "raw material" of knowledge and creativity be made accessible to everyone and be harnessed to the benefit of all? This comprehensive volume brings together the works of artists, scientists, developers, designers, entrepreneurs and activists from around the world and delves deep into the themes of the festival, offering insights, perspectives, and thought-provoking content that reflect on the intersection of art, technology, and society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to solving complex problems, we often perform elaborate rituals in the guise of best practices that promise a world of order, certainty, and control.

This book is about weaving human artistry and improvisation, with appropriate methods and technologies, in order to pool collective intelligence and wisdom under pressure.” —Simon Buckingham Shum, Knowledge Media Institute, The Open University, UK “This is a terrific piece of work: important, insightful, and very entertaining. Culmsee and Awati have produced a refreshing take on the problems that plague organisations... If you’re trying to deal with wicked problems in your organisation, then drop everything and read this book.” —Tim Van Gelder, Principal Consultant, Austhink Consulting
