This book is a survey of 12 breathtakingly beautiful gardens by award-winning photographer Andre Baranowski, whose eye for beauty will embolden readers the world over to embrace their inner instincts and create their own garden wild. The new movement in contemporary gardening is about going back to the wilderness, creatively landscaping with native plants to enrich their environments and seamlessly merge with their natural surroundings. Politely rejecting traditional manicured, hedged and pruned gardening aesthetics to invite an alternative kind of beauty: wildly bursting with indigenous plants, old-growth trees, vibrant patches of wildflowers and perennials, succulents, un-pruned bushes and ornamental grasses. New York City's Highline is a famous example and this landscaping approach is becoming increasingly popular for private homeowners. This book surveys twelve such breathtaking gardens captured by award winning photographer Andre Baranowski. The featured gardens range from small private residencies to large properties, by renowned landscapers such as Oehme van Sweden, Fernando Caruncho, Jorge Sanchez, and Piet Oudolf. The texts detail each project's approach and the hurdles presented by its landscape, providing the reader with an array of instructional ideas from an insider's mindset. Guaranteed to be a boundless source of inspiration and treasured by lovers of gardens worldwide.

"Prairie Style is about the breakdown of location and voice. It lays out a landscape of habitations (Frank Lloyd Wright's designs for "servantless families," fox dens in an embankment, the two-mile long face of Chicago's Robert Taylor public housing project, etc.) and crosses and recrosses the line between poetry and prose. The book is an acknowledgement of the "terrible frankness" of color, pleasure's distance, and the similarity of equivocation and argument. Prairie Style is the turn inland. "Inland, one needs something more racial, say bigger, than mountains.""--BOOK JACKET.

Originated and championed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Prairie Style is as fresh today as it was at its inception 100 years ago, as evidenced by some of the finest and most original structures and interiors America has ever known. Striking color photographs and illuminating text show to full advantage the sweeping lines, natural materials, precise forms, and integration of building and landscape that are the hallmarks of Prairie Style. By taking a total approach to the entire environment, Wright and his contemporaries blur the line between architecture and design. Knowing the furnishings and accessories integral to their overall aesthetic, built-in architectural details, cabinets lining the walls, window seats, and furniture noted for its rectilinear form, natural wood finish, and art-glass accents (many pieces of which are still manufactured today)--discover for yourself the refined elegance that makes Prairie Style such a favorite around the world.

Romantic Prairie Style embraces simple pleasures, comfort, and the long-cherished ideals of natural beauty, simplicity, and harmony with the earth. Romantic Prairie Style embraces simple pleasures, comfort, and the long-cherished ideals of natural beauty, simplicity, and harmony with the earth. Romantic Prairie is a style that says “home” wherever you may be because, more than anything else, it’s a mindset: it’s gentle but strong, welcoming and lasting, durable yet sophisticated, it’s the resilient spirit of “making do” and, above all, it’s real. Beautiful specially-commissioned photography showcases thirteen gorgeous homes across the United States—from Illinois to Missouri—that are inspired by the nostalgia and esthetics of Prairie style. Long gone are the sod houses, built by European immigrants lured to the vast plains and sweeping grasslands by the ownership of land in the 1880s. Over the centuries these humble dwellings evolved into sturdier, more comfortable homes, which, depending on their geographic location, took on a variety of designs, be it a ranch, cabin, farmhouse, or cottage. Romantic Prairie Style celebrates the diversity of designs, the rich and deep pleasures of creating something unique from scratch, the softer side of rustic and rugged with the union of delicate and elegant, the spontaneous acceptance of lack of pretension and the simplicity of purpose. Here interiors bear the influence of European settlers and the heart-warming authenticity of simple, natural textures, hand-hewn beams, bleached wood, weathered planks, woven blankets, cowhide, and Navajo rugs. It’s dainty but substantial, fresh but seasoned, innovative and adventurous. It’s flower-sprigged brocade, tawny leather, crisp eyelet, linen, corduroy with crochet trims, woolen plaids, cozy flannel, and wispy organza. It’s organic and sweet. It’s history retold and all about the enduring connection between people and places.

In 1912, San Jose architect Frank Delos Wolfe, inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, applied the architectural style of the Midwestern Prairie School to the California bungalow. The result was something unique to Northern California--an ornate and strikingly modern home that suited the California lifestyle and appealed to those who wanted something decidedly different.With more than 200 photographs, author Krista Van Laan presents a look at the work of Frank Wolfe focusing on the years 1912 through 1922. Set against the backdrop of the Santa Clara Valley during a period of economic and architectural growth, "Frank Delos Wolfe: California Prairie Architecture" tells the stories of these special buildings and their special owners and establishes Wolfe's place among American architects.

"The mid-twentieth century was one of the most productive and inventive periods in Frank Lloyd Wright's career, producing such masterworks as the Guggenheim Museum, Price Tower, Fallingwater, the Usonian Houses, and the Lovness House, as well as a vast array of innovative furniture and object design. With a wide variety of shapes and forms-ranging from honeycombs to spirals-this period defies simplistic definition. Simplicity, democratic designs, and organic forms characterize Mid-Century Modern, and, mentoring such mid-century talents as Richard Neutra and Rudolph Schindler among others, Wright was one of its most influential proponents. Frank Lloyd Wright: Mid-Century Modern is a comprehensive examination of an under-explored period in Wright's career, a time dating from roughly 1935 to 1958, during which this master architect was at his most daring and innovative."--Jacket

Texas Politics: Grand Prairie Style is put together in Three Parts. Part One looks at the historical backdrop of Texas Politics, as discussed in the UTA Texas History textbook. Author Warren Landrum's wife Carol actually took that course using this textbook during the first few weeks of the year, leading up to the time he filed to run for City Council. It was not by accident that she took this class at that time. The Landrums knew that Warren would be running for Council, as he had already formally announced in December of 2012, and so they thought that perhaps some of what she read, studied, and learned during this class might help them during the campaign, in regards to perhaps understanding why some of the things that would unfold happened the way they did-based on historical precedence and likelihood. The Landrums were right. They did gain some insights from this book. Thus, when some of the things that happened during the campaign played out the way they did, they were not surprised.
