Dream Gardens explores twelve dream gardens in challenging spaces,
from tiny plots in the inner city, suburban blocks, sandy seaside
properties to expansive country acreages. Michael McCoy, well-known
garden designer and host of popular Australian TV series Dream
Gardens (in which the book's twelve gardens also feature) shows us
the challenges and the solutions for creating beautiful functional
gardens. By drawing on great garden design each garden finds the
perfect solution. In each challenging case, a beautiful garden is
created to meet their owners needs. Dream Gardens explores the
central ideas of garden design, and illustrates, with stunning
photography, how we can use design to make simple changes to our
gardens to enjoy beautiful and functional living spaces. The book
also features interviews with well-known garden designers,
including Fiona Brockhoff and Paul Bangay, discussing their
featured gardens.

Roping a buffalo, running off cattle rustlers, sitting out a winter
storm in a cave--adventures like these were all part of everyday
life for the cowboy. They're depicted here in stories that have
stood the test of time, by writers whose words are just as funny
and wise today as they were one hundred years ago. Covering all
corners of the great Western expanse--from Montana to Mexico,
California to the Mississippi--the stories in this collection
represent not just the Anglo male perspective but also that of the
blacks, Mexicans, and women who made their lives on the range. It
features works by Owen Wister, Theodore Roosevelt, Frederic
Remington, Isabella L. Bird, Nat Love, Bill Nye, Charlie Siringo,
Zane Grey, Andy Adams, Mark Twain, E. Mulford, O. Henry (creator of
the Cisco Kid), and many others, including some surprises by
little-known authors.
