Editorial Reviews Tropolism: "The work of Andrea Cochran can be seen, to those of us who have admired landscape design abroad, as finally completing the process of freeing American Landscape Architecture from the curse of postmodern landforms and wacky color cuteness. The work is powerful, but never unbalanced or trendy. Her outdoor spaces are clean, trimmed, and suitable for the modernist sensibility, yet they never feel like accessories to a building. Instead they reverse the relationship: the buildings are totally permeated, even subsumed by Landscape." (February 23, 2009) Dwell: "Just like modern homes often bring the outside in, San Francisco landscape architect Andrea Cochrans exterior designs extend the modern aesthetic from indoors to the outdoors. A new book by Mary Myers celebrates Cochran's distinct talent.Published by Princeton Architectural Press, Andrea Cochran: Landscapes is not only a coffee table-ready book filled with stunning photography, it's also an incredible resource for DIYers looking to beautify their own backyards." — Miyoko Ohtake (March 6, 2009)

Highly recommended; very much out of copyright, and very short, and thus ideal for the classroom. There exists equally with the savage, the most insulated, as with the citizen raised to the highest point of civilization, an uniform proportion between their ideas and their wants; that their continually increasing multiplicity, in a state of polished society, ought to be regarded as one of the grand instruments for producing the development of the human mind; so that we may be allowed to lay it down as a general proposition, that all the causes, whether accidental, local, or political, which tend to augment or diminish the number of our wants, contribute of necessity to extend or to contract the sphere of our knowledge, and the empire of the sciences, of the fine arts, and of social industry. Itard's account aims to prove that the wild child, and a fortiori, any citizen can be educated into something better by intermingling them with rational guides to imitate and by compelling them to multiply their wants. Where a wide range of wants are wanting, intelligence does not develop. A better citizenship requires more refined pleasures, whether we're talking about Victor the Wild Child or, by implication, all citizens of the new French Republic. This pedagogical treatise is thus also necessarily a treatise on social engineering, an attack on the superiority of nature and especially on the notion of "human nature" (since only human culture produces anything more than bestial), and implicitly an attack on class, on the colonial project [maybe!], and on all forms of conservatism. Brief google searches suggest Foucault didn't write about this account, which astonishes me. If ever there were a text better suited to discuss the characteristics and development of modern biopower, I don't know it. Needless to say Itard is a humanist who believes the boy, Victor, was without society worth speaking of when we was among the animals.

I love Ezra Pound's poetry. Throughout the pages of this collection, Pound is often serious, funny, ironic, and profound, doing so in a manner that remains pleasurable to read. This is true poetry.
Another fun romp through McCullough's techno-magic cyberworld that blends mostly Greek mythology and IT. Lots of familiar characters taking on different roles. Enjoyed it! Makes me want to go back and read the Norse adventure that I apparently skipped (Mythos?).
read this book several years ago, picked it up at the thriftstore - it blew me away! want to read everything she has ever written!
This book has been compared to the Harry Potter series but only because it's fantasy. I absolutely loved it and couldn't wait to get started on Eldest. If you want some escapism, this is it!
I seemed to have connected with this book and with Darcy more so than Something Borrowed. This is Darcy's version you, and how someone with a "perfect life" can lose it all, and how she deals with it all. Maybe because my life had some changes (a 4 year relationship to now being single) I was really able to feel the pain that Darcy was going through and understand her insecurities. But like they say when one door closes another opens...and at the end of this book I felt a great sense of hope. That no matter what everything happens for a reason and you have to keep on moving.

** spoiler alert ** Well, I really have to say that this was definitely one of the better books in the series. I started the series in 09 and I was just a few chapters into Shadowland before I had my son and the book got pushed to the side, I recently (the past two weeks) picked up Shadowland again after finding "Radiance" [a spin off series about Ever's sister Riley] and I finished Shadowland in about 3 days, and then I read Dark Flame and I just now finished Night Star. The series, at times, got boring for me- because I was tired of Ever being so whiney about not being able to sleep with Damen, and it was REALLY annoying that she kept so much from him. Especially considering he told her all along there was nothing she could do to make him leave her or anything of that nature. She just seemed very selfish and self righteous, wanting to figure out answers on her own. I was really addicted to this book- like I said one of my favorites so far. I hate that theres some parts in Evermore/Blue Moon that I can't remember though. Like when exactly she was given the elixir and became immortal, and little things like that. I don't own the first three books, so I can't go and check, I may look it up online though. So now I'm done rambling- but overall this was one of my favorite books, I think the books in this series I liked the most were Dark Flame and Night Star because of the character interaction with Jude, Haven, and Roman, mainly because it wasn't just a love story about Ever and Damen trying to "Shag their bleeding hearts out" anymore (<---inside joke from book, made me giggle.) Can't wait for the last book to come out, sad to see it end though, I really feel like I've come a long way with these characters and their journey.
