商品簡介
The authors of several books about gardening/landscaping with native plants seek to inspire a more positive attitude toward conservation among developers, lawmakers, and the general public. The Wasowskis describe ways to live within "nature's envelope," e.g., by saving trees and soil in areas to be developed. The guide features examples of architecture integrated with nature, color photos, and a list of resources by state. This is a paperbound reprint of the work published in hardcover as Building Inside Nature's Envelope: How New Construction and Land Preservation Can Work Together (Oxford U. Press, 2000).
