Semes has planted his foot hard in the tense area between architectural innovation and historic preservation…[R]aises questions that everyone involved in historic preservation needs to think about. Semes thus deserves credit for tackling a complex issue that is playing out in myriad ways all over the world." -- Kathleen Corbett - Traditional Dwellings and Settlements Review"[S]peaks in common-sense terms, it is didactic and approachable, and the laymen who are in the trenches…will find powerful ammunition in it." -- American Arts Quarterly"Full of well illustrated examples, drawings, and photographs of the results of both approaches, this volume is likely to take up important space in future discussions." -- Book News"Mr. Semes makes a compelling argument; hopefully is does not fall on deaf ears." -- Portland Book Review

Anyone who loves cities will applaud the lessons of this heroic book, that a good public park is at the heart of a democratic, sustainable society." -- Ricky Burdett, Professor of Urban Studies, London School of Economics"I’ve been relying on the wonderful Public Parks for all sorts of fantastic advice (the Stewardship and Finance and Governance Chapters have been life-savers)... My students have also enjoyed reading the book." -- Andrew Silver, Page Morton Hunter Associate Professor of English, Mercer University

John Wiley & Sons Inc INTIMUS
Book SynopsisWalter Benjamin observed in his writings on the interior that ''to live means to leave traces.'' This interior design theory reader focuses on just how such traces might manifest themselves. In order to explore interior design''s links to other disciplines, the selected texts reflect a wide range of interests extending beyond the traditional confines of design and architecture. It is conceived as a matrix, which intersects social, political, psychological, philosophical, technological and gender discourse, with practice issues, such as materials, lighting, colour, furnishing, and the body. The anthology presents a complex and sometimes conflicting terrain, while also creating a distinct body of knowledge particular to the interior. Locating theory on the interior through these multifarious sources, it encourages future discourse in an area often marginalised but now emerging in its own right. Within the reader individual excerpts are referenced to their place in the matrix and sequTable of ContentsAcknowledgements. Proximities. Mark Taylor and Julieanna Preston. The Partition of Space.

Like a good textbook, the thoughts build one upon the other until you can see the clarity and wisdom of shedding your city's zoning and moving to an enlightened future based on form rather than use." (Planetizen.com; 11/24/08) "The term form-based, though coined in 2001, actually evolved from the seminal Seaside, Florida, design of 1981. But fundamental misunderstandings about eh specifics of its components, visioning process, and implementation continue to this day because no comprehensive reference source has been available. The purpose of this book is to fill that gap, and it succeeds admirably. In essence what the authors have presented is a step-by-step, highly detailed textbook."

(Landscape and Urban Planning Journal, 2009) "…a text specifically targeted to the site applications but which can be referred to in selecting construction materials. It is divided into two parts; the first is ostensibly devoted to honing a technique for specifying materials responsibly, and resources available to help that approach; the second explores nine different materials, steps being taken to reduce their ecological footprints, and notes to consider when specifying these fundamentals" (GreenSource.com, September 2009) "…Calkins makes complex matters understandable even for nonexperts. In each section that I sampled, I came away pleased by how much Calkins was able to convey, and how clearly. Materials for Sustainable Sites is an instructive and frequently enlightening book. It deserves a place on the new urbanist bookshelf..." (New Urban News, March 2009) "This book, for the profession of landscape architecture is highly important in identifying the consequences of poorly chosen materials on human health. So read this book, and use it as a guide. Even more importantly, lend it to others and teach the world the importance of the practice of being sustainable." (larcexchange.com, February 11th, 2009) "Minimizing environmental and human health impacts of site construction materials is the focus of Materials for Sustainable Sites." (Construction Specifier, December 2008) "This book is a serious reference manual. Nearly every page has diagrams, tables of definitions and comparisons, and lists of guidelines. The timing of this book’s publication is ideal, being aligned with the launch of the Sustainable Sites Initiative, to which Calkins has contributed expertise. Materials for Sustainable Sites will be the constant companion of landscape architects and related professionals who want both inspiration and credible information about the sustainable palette of our art." (Landscape Architecture, April 2009) "Weightly tome offering a comprehensive guide to evaluating selecting and using sustainable construction materials." (Grand Designs, April 2009) "…provides detailed information for architects and builders on materials and products that use resources efficiently, minimize embodied energy and carbon, avoid harming human or environmental health at any phase of their life cycle, and assist with sustainable site design strategies." (Book News; 12/08) "When it comes time to choose materials for those home and garden projects, there's now a wonderful green guide. This guidebook is indispensable for anyone planning construction projects. It is destined to become a classic." (bellaonline.com; 11/08) In this book, Calkins (architecture and planning, Ball State Univ.) focuses on the environmental and human health impact of construction materials during their manufacture, transport, installation, use, and disposal, and guides the reader in evaluating, selecting, and using these materials. The work contains 13 chapters, each ending with a list of pertinent references. The first chapter offers a definition of materials for sustainable sites. The following three chapters cover various topics including evaluating the environmental impact of materials and designing with reclaimed, reprocessed, and recycled materials. The remaining nine chapters address in detail such materials as concrete, earthen materials, brick masonry, asphalt pavement, aggregates and stone, wood, metals, plastics and rubber, and biobased materials. The volume ends with two useful appendixes on embodied energy and carbon in construction materials, and on hazardous air pollutants and metals related to construction materials. The book is well written, with mostly good illustrations and informative tables; the binding is rather weak. It will make a good acquisition by an academic or industrial library. Includes a very comprehensive index. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate through professional architecture and civil and environmental engineering collections. (T. Z. Kattamis, University of Connecticut, CHOICE, March 2009) In this new book, Calkins tells you everything you need to know about materials for sustainable design. This book is certain to become the classic reference for all designers and builders who want to pursue creative design in a way that will help protect the planet.(GardenDesignonline.com, October 20, 2008) It's rare to find a must-read book for the profession of landscape architecture…this book is an amazing reference for use during the design process, when assembling materials for use in sustainable ways. This will also be a great tool for planning, ecosystem valuation, life-cycle costing, and many other uses. Planners, designers, and everyone in between will find a use for Materials for Sustainable Sites… this is not a presentation of new source material or research, but rather a comprehensive and encyclopedic collection that provides, dare I say, THE essential source for sustainable materials.
