Until recently, gardeners have paid little attention to the ecological requirements of perennials when planting them in parks and gardens. This book describes a new way of using perennials in parks and gardens based on ecological rather then purely aesthetic principles. It demonstrates how attention to ecological needs of herbaceous perennials can result in low maintenance plantings in parks and other public spaces. The entire field of ornamental perennials is described with the main emphasis upon the ecological nature of the plant rather than the usual height, flowering sense and colour descriptions. Most of the current perennials available from nurseries are categorised according to the conditions in which they are most likely to thrive in the face of competition from other plants and weeds. These lists in particular are an indispensable work of reference for any gardener or landscape architect interested in the use of perennials. This is a translation of the classic fourth edition of the German book Die Stauden und ihre Lebensbereiche published in 1991.

EXCERPTS FROM THE BOOK: There were fourteen Japanese ships, all destroyers and cruisers: a formidable batch of firepower if they should catch the poorly armed minelayers. By now, darkness had settled in and with it came a series of line squalls that made it impossible to see from ship to ship. Lightning blazed down from the fronts, rain fell in buckets, and the wind howled. Still the four-stackers plowed on. Over towards Savo Island, the PT Boats were still slugging it out with the Japanese navy. PTs 37, 311, and 123 would not return to base that night. There was no time for salvage, no time for the Japs to tow their 1900-ton destroyer to safer waters, no time for much of anything except to open her sea cocks and let the sea claim the first Japanese vessel to fall victim to an American offensive minefield. The minefield, so carefully laid by the GAMBLE, PREBLE, AND BREESE, claimed at least three of Japan's fighting ships within 24 hours after completing their mission. One of Aiso's marine guards told the CPO that he had hoped that the Japanese prisoner [who had starved his own men] would do something while being transferred to justify shooting him. It remained for an old "four piper," an ex-DD, to wipe out the first of the subs that went down in the enemy's Guadalcanal offensive. The old timer was the USS GAMBLE.

The Great Earthquake and Fire of 1906 is an unparalleled disaster in the history of San Francisco. More than 4.5 square miles of San Francisco burned and crumbled into a windswept desert of desolation. We will see this scene from behind the camera, covering before the earthquake through the fire and into the rebuilding of the city. The waterfront in the east to Golden Gate Park in the west and the marina in the north to Mission District in the south will be viewed. City hall and along Market Street through the center of the city will be covered. Stories from survivors and new information, like doctored photographs, will be included. Thirty years of research will be merged to give you an accurate account.

"How To Fix Your Own Clock" gives simple answers to basic minor problems that can be easily corrected by most clock owners. This book is written for the typical mechanical clock owner who knows little about clocks - and who doesn't want to run up a repair bill if it can be helped. The book is in an easy to understand question and answer format, and comes from actual questions from the author's newspaper column. The author, Richard Hansen (a master clock repairman and owner of his own clock repair business for 15 years), knows that often, a clock may need little more than the correct set-up, or a minor adjustment to go from "dust collector" in your attic - to "treasured and accurate timepiece" in your living room! He wrote this book so you can get your clock going - and keep it going - easily and inexpensively!
