The Leading Guide To Site Design And Engineering—Revised And Updated Site Engineering for Landscape Architects is the topchoice for site engineering, planning, and construction courses aswell as for practitioners in the field, with easy-to-understandcoverage of the principles and techniques of basic site engineeringfor grading, drainage, earthwork, and road alignment. The SixthEdition has been revised to address the latest developments inlandscape architecture while retaining an accessible approach tocomplex concepts. The book offers an introduction to landform and the language ofits design, and explores the site engineering concepts essential topracticing landscape architecture today—from interpretinglandform and contour lines, to designing horizontal and verticalroad alignments, to construction sequencing, to designing andsizing storm water management systems. Integrating design withconstruction and implementation processes, the authors enablereaders to gain a progressive understanding of the material. This edition contains completely revised information on stormwater management and green infrastructure, as well as many new andupdated case studies. It also includes updated coverage of stormwater management systems design, runoff calculations, and naturalresource conservation. Graphics throughout the book have beenrevised to bring a consistent, clean approach to theillustrations. Perfect for use as a study guide for the most difficult sectionof the Landscape Architect Registration Exam (LARE) or as a handyprofessional reference, Site Engineering for LandscapeArchitects, Sixth Edition gives readers a strong foundation insite development that is environmentally sensitive andintellectually stimulating.

A fundamental natural resource, water and its use not only reflect "modes of production" but also that complex interplay between resources and their exploitation (and domination) by various social agents, who in their turn are inevitably influenced by the abundance or rarity of water supplies. Focusing on scientific, social and economic issues from the 16th to the 19th century, the author, one of Italy's leading historians in this field, looks at the innumerable conflicts that arose over water resources and the environmental impact of projects intended to control them. Venice and Holland are undoubtedly the two most fascinating cases of societies "built on water," with the conquest of vast expanses of marshland - either inland or on the coast (the Dutch polders or the Venetian lagoon) – not only stimulating agricultural production, but also nurturing a deeply-felt relationship between the local populations and the element of water itself. The author rounds off his study by looking at the influence the hydraulic technology developed in Holland would have on many European countries (France, England and Germany in particular) and at questions raised by contemporaries about the environmental impact of agricultural progress and its effects upon the social-economic equilibria within the communities concerned.

The modern idea of 'mastery' over nature always had its critics, whether their motives were aesthetic, religious or environmentalist. By investigating how the most fundamental element - water - was 'conquered' by draining fens and marshes, straightening the courses of rivers, building high dams and exploiting hydro-electric power, The Conquest of Nature explores how over the last 250 years, the German people have shaped their natural environment and how the landscapes they created took a powerful hold on the German imagination. From Frederick the Great of Prussia to Johann Gottfried Tulla, 'the man who tamed the wild Rhine' in the nineteenth century to Otto Intze, 'master dambuilder' of the years around 1900, to the Nazis who set out to colonise 'living space' in the East, this groundbreaking study shows that while mastery over nature delivers undoubted benefits, it has often come at a tremendous cost to both the natural environment and human life.
