The new edition reinforces this work as the compendium of current thinking about how to care for trees. Clark and Matheny build eloquently on Harris's solid foundation.
The public participates actively in caring for trees and demands to know information found in this book. Why not plant the biggest caliper tree you can find? Can't you do something about the tree roots "breaking" up my sewer? Open the book and show them the brief but definitive answer that is easily found here.
I wish more citizen tree advocates would read this book. For that matter, I wish more arborists would too.

The author does not set out to criticize anyone in this book. Rather, he reveals valuable truths which can set a person free from many behavioral disorders and addictive tendencies and also which can help a person prevent others from falling into the same.
Each chapter is written as a self-contained unit dealing with some aspect of codependent tendencies which we all share. It is written in very clear, concise and understandable English. It is a practical book dealing with real-life issues, not a collection of ineffective theories.
I highly recommend this book! A must-read for every new Christian, as well as for pastors, youth group leaders and anyone involved in ministry. This is one of the most liberating, freeing books you will probably ever read!

Like most artists, Turrell shies away from giving detailed explinations of his works so that each individual can surmise the piece for themselves. This is not necessarly the case in this work. Turrell wanted, (and did) to build a specific "skyscape" in order to view an eclipse that occurred in England. Like his other "skyscapes," Turrell took the environment and all of its factors, as well as very specific geometry, into account, so that he could construct the perfect medium through which to not just observe the eclipse, but to better magnify the light, or lack thereof, of the eclipse.
The book is a wonderful look at this process, complete with analysis and pictures of the eclipse, the "skyscape," etc. An added bonus is the cd by German composer Paul Schulze, who's approach to his music (a minimalist ambient style, normally) is a perfect match to Turrell's art.
Fans of Turrell, or those who are interested in the interplay between light, our senses, and the reality they both help us create, will find this rather short treatsie to be of invaluable use to them. A wonderfully intriguing work.
