Delving into all aspects of designing and maintaining unique
interior landscapes, this colorfully illustrated book demonstrates
how to realize landscapes for a variety of different interiors,
from private homes to corporate office buildings, and in styles
ranging from naturalistic to abstract. Photographic examples of the
authors own designs and the natural materials that inspired them
show how to construct an infrastructure and select the right plants
for different design themes, including jungles, deserts, gardens,
seasonal pieces, and sanctuaries and memorials. A plant index is
also included."
We were born gullible, raised gullible, and educated to be
gullible. But as adults, when it comes to decision making in
critical contexts - personal, national, or global - gullibility
poses a dire threat. Nothing can be decided rationally when
gullibility rules the mind - not health care issues, financial
strategies, education planning, or anything else that really
matters. In today's world, the gullers have our eyes and ears
twenty-four seven. But who are they? Where do they lurk? What are
their methods? We get some answers to these questions, and then
propose ways to defend ourselves. If gullibility is the illness,
you might hope that education is the cure. But public education as
we know it today does nothing to discourage gullibility, and a
great deal to support it. A new approach is needed - an approach
that exploits the natural symbiosis that exists among science,
math, computer science, and the arts - an approach that encourages
creativity and critical reasoning while making subjects more
engaging and exciting. It's not a plan that can be implemented
quickly or on the cheap. But even small steps should temper the
rampant gullibility that plagues our society.
