Rain Gardens: Managing Water Sustainably in the Garden and Designed Landscape Review: Good on several levels - This book is not meant for those who are well versed in rain gardens looking to learn more about them, however it does provide many good references and precedents to expand some basic knowledge and styles in design. Studied stormwater management in Berlin for several months visiting and using a few sites that were listed in the book in my study. Highly recommended if you are interested in stormwater management on any level in my opinion though. Review: Perhaps not what you are expecting ... - Let me first state that this is an excellent book. However, it is really a book about taking things to the next level. If you are looking for solid how-to information about installing a rain garden in your back yard, you might be disappointed. Landscape architects, designers and accomplished amateurs with advanced skill sets looking to handle water both innovatively and creatively will delight in this book. I did ... but then I already have three rain gardens in my own landscape and teach how-to classes on installing them. If the concept of rain gardens intrigues you and you are looking for the basics on a DIY level, the free, downloadable rain garden manual from the University of Wisconsin is still the best source of that information, as of January 2008. This book has a decidedly European flavor to it. And why shouldn't it? It is written by a couple of Brits. Although I am hard-pressed to see how some of the models given in the book will pass muster with the Americans with Disabilities Act, codes and other regulatory bodies, they should indeed stimulate the mind. The examples (of which there are many) also include public and even larger municipal installations. I find this a good thing for Americans to be exposed to. The Europeans are far ahead of us in green thinking. Included are some examples of essentially, municipal civil engineering projects both implemented and functioning with panache. This is a book that I value having in my personal library. Someone looking for basic information may not. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #802,455 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #351 in Landscape #591 in Garden Design (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (36) | | Dimensions | 8 x 0.75 x 9.5 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 0881928267 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0881928266 | | Item Weight | 1.6 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 188 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 2007 | | Publisher | Timber Pr | ## Images ![Rain Gardens: Managing Water Sustainably in the Garden and Designed Landscape - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41FKuWNhGRL.jpg) ![Rain Gardens: Managing Water Sustainably in the Garden and Designed Landscape - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vHS2Tp07L.jpg) ![Rain Gardens: Managing Water Sustainably in the Garden and Designed Landscape - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81sXaKfCDmL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good on several levels *by J***K on January 6, 2012* This book is not meant for those who are well versed in rain gardens looking to learn more about them, however it does provide many good references and precedents to expand some basic knowledge and styles in design.
