State-by-state listings and explanations of municipal landscape ordinances In U.S. Landscape Ordinances, Buck Abbey furnishes landscape architects, planners, land-use attorneys, and students with a much-needed resource. This state-by-state presentation demystifies the complex planning laws and ordinances that determine landscape design parameters for more than 300 American cities. The author highlights sections of each ordinance that pertain to landscape architecture, boils the legalese down to plain English, explains the law's main purpose and regulatory function, and spells out the practical implications from a design perspective. With the help of more than fifty diagrams and drawings that clarify complex spatial concepts, U.S. Landscape Ordinances reviews the entire spectrum of green laws currently on the books, including ordinances that cover: * Parking lots and vehicular use areas * Landscape buffers and screens * Street tree plantings * Open space design * Irrigation * Land clearing and building sites The product of ten years of painstaking research and analysis, U.S. Landscape Ordinances is a unique and invaluable tool for professionals in landscape design and municipal planning. It also offers a deep reservoir of information for students, municipal legislators, community activists, and anyone interested in understanding or developing a community's landscape ordinances.

Industry Reviews

This excellent text provides a lively and accessible read which is certain to encourage and inspire the increasing number of therapy practitioners who seek to undertake research of immediate relevance to their professional field. Finlay is passionate about the crucial role practitioners can play in shaping and enhancing their work through rigorous research. She makes clear how the knowledge and wisdom of therapists embedded in the real world can be harnessed, and indeed must be harnessed, if we are to create meaningful research capable of making a genuine impact on psychological healthcare provision. Phenomenology for Therapists is required reading for all therapist researchers who want to make a difference to therapeutic practice in the real world; I am certain it will become a classic in the field.
—Simon du Plock, Professor of Psychology, Metanoia Institute and Middlesex University, UK

Linda Finlay invites readers to engage with the world of phenomenology in lively, intellectually stimulating, and moving ways. She is a trustworthy guide who provides a good conceptual map of the area. In addition, she provides a very practical sense of the territory when walking its major routes. Using many relevant examples that therapists will recognise, this book demonstrates how a phenomenological approach to research is consistent with core therapy values and practices.
—Les Todres, Professor of Qualitative Research, Bournemouth University, UK

Finlay does a superb job of demonstrating how phenomenological research and therapeutic practice complement each other. She provides powerful examples of qualitative research that deepen our understanding of human existence and inform clinical practice. Psychotherapists who read her book are likely to be enticed by the possibility of doing research, no longer viewing it as a practice better left to academics.
—Steen Halling, Professor of Psychology, Seattle University, USA
