Bamboo: A Material for Landscape and Garden Design
Of all the sustainable materials now available, none is more interesting than bamboo. Botanically classifi ed as a grass, bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on the earth, easy to harvest, alternately fl exible or stiff (depending on the application) and extremely strong (stronger, in fact, than steel), and is in use in applications as diverse as fl ooring, building structures, furniture, aeronautics, and high-end racing bikes. "Bamboo" is a portrait of this dynamic and amazing material and a guide to its many uses across the design spectrum. Striking color illustrations convey exhaustive technical and botanical information while experts in fi elds such as biotechnology, wood technology, and horticulture explain technical properties such as the different varieties, their methods of propagation and habitat requirements, as well as information on the uses of bamboo in numerous design situations. A must-have volume for any designer interested in materials.

Art Deco
Taking its name from the Paris Exposition International des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes of 1925, the Art Deco style was the last word in design for a generation. Using characteristic geometric or stylised shapes and patterns, early Art Deco works were made of costly materials such as ivory, lacquer and jade, their ownership restricted to the wealthiest of buyers. With the advent of the Great Depression, designers turned to economical mass-produced materials such as bakelite and aluminium. This led to a widely affordable Art Deco range of furniture, kitchenware and household appliances, that has come back into fashion many times over the years. A major influence on the architecture of the twenties and thirties, the Art Deco style can be seen in a wide range of private, commercial and public buildings worldwide. Art Deco is the complete illustrated history of an unusually influential design concept.

Backyard Mosaics by Connie Sheerin, ISBN 1402701063
NEW IN PAPERBACKBrighten your porch, patio, deck, garden, or yard with colorful, decorative mosaics you can easily make yourself. Over 25 projects will add charm to all your outdoor settings. You can use either new or recycled materials for both the surfaces and the tesserae that cover them; just imagine, for example, a worn out table enlivened by patterns formed from broken pottery. Give a statue of Buddha a handsome coat of old chipped China, and place it in a quiet, meditative garden spot. Transform your outdoor dining area with fashionably retro mosaic furniture, serving carts and trays. Warm up the yard with a decorative chiminea, a terra cotta fireplace on a stand. For a different look, do your mosaic work without grouting; it creates interesting effects on a garden thermometer. Or choose from a welcome sign, tabletop fountain, stepping stone path, gazing balls, hearts and roses planter, and more.
