Trees in Urban Design Second Edition By Henry F. Arnold Reflecting the belief that urban life requires an "escape," city parks have long been designed in imitation of pastoral surroundings. Henry F. Arnold challenges this tired romantic style that disregards the urban environment-and shows how trees can be used to enhance urban elements rather than hide them. He encourages landscape architects and city planners to utilize trees, not as decoration, but as living building materials to create and reinforce urban spaces.

<p>"The story of the evolution of a distinguished landscape architect is a blueprint for the rewards found in a profession that humanizes cities and changes lives.Life & Landscape traces the author's life from earliest boyhood, as he discovers natural order, to a notable career as a landscape architect. This lively story, as recollected by the author, connects his earlier experiences and suggests how a vocation of forty years evolved into an avocation as a watercolor artist, extending the satisfaction of a life well lived with a wife well matched. Ultimately, the book is a blueprint to the many ways a career in landscape architecture can positively influence many lives in many places."</p>
