Dreaming Gardens: Landscape Architecture and the Making of Modern Israel (Center Books on the International Scene)

Book Description

Israeli landscape architects have been integral to their country's development, designing places that have become symbolic icons of the nation. The Valley of the Destroyed Communities at Yad Vashem, Haas-Sherover Promenade in Jerusalem, Ben Gurion's gravesite at Sde Boker, Yarkon Park of Tel Aviv, all of Israel's national parks, university campuses, most kibbutzim, and even entire cities have been designed and planned by Israel's landscape architects. Yet despite their unique contribution to the nation's identity, their work is largely unknown outside Israel.

Dreaming Gardens is a pioneering work that provides, for the first time, a framework for understanding the contributions of landscape architecture in the creation of Israel. The development of the landscape architecture profession in Israel paralleled the development of the state, as immigrants brought skills and ideas from the Diaspora, creating a unique opportunity for designers to help shape their national identity. Helphand's clear writing, complemented by copious color illustrations, charts the shifting attitudes of this singular culture toward its land, landscapes, communities, and nation.

Great book - but overpriced.......2007-09-18

This book is definitely one-of-a-kind (at least I haven't been able to find any others on the same subject). The content is useful and exactly what I was looking for when I purchased it.

The only reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars is because the book is really small. I guess I didn't read the description details very well, but this book was a lot smaller (dimensions) and shorter (pages with information) than I was expecting. I also have really no use for any chapter (of any book) that tries to tell me what camera to get, by the time the book is published that chapter is out of date. That limits the usefulness in the future.

I am glad I purchased it, and the size is nice in that I can pack it up with the gear and use it as a field guide at times.

If you are looking for a book on wildlife videography, there really isn't any other book devoted to the subject right now. However, I'd recommend trying to pick up a used copy and save yourself a little bit of money.

Video Recording Book.......2007-01-19

Loved the book, very informational on how to record birds and other critters in the wild. going to test some of the suggestions in Connecticut when I go to the Eagle Watch.

At Last!.......2006-05-29

As a keen amateur camcorder user with a passion for wildlife I've been looking for a book like this for years. It's answered many questions, given me loads of new ideas and all in friendly language I can understand. Various technical matters that were confusing me have been explained and I now have a much clearer idea how the professionals do it. I'm already getting better results from my camcorder and have ideas for movies queuing up in my head. I've realised how previously I was just pointing my camcorder at wildlife and recording - now I am making movies!
I've even found myself contemplating a career in this field.
Highly recommended for anyone wanting to get more out of their camcorder - especially if wanting to record wildlife/nature.

From the supplier: The IRS has ruled that a joint venture between two related US S corporations created as an unlimited liability company in Canada under the Nova Scotia Companies Act will be treated as a partnership for US tax purposes. The IRS determined that the joint venture lacked limited liability and free transferability, qualifying it for pass-through taxation. Under Canadian tax law, the company is still subject to two-tier taxation as a corporation. Under US taxation, the joint venture will also qualify for foreign tax credits and deductions for Canadian losses.

Book Description

Imperfections and Behavior in Economic Organizations analyzes the organization of economic decision making in a contemporary setting. The contributors focus on two important aspects of this analysis. First, they address the issue of imperfect or incomplete information and communication in economic organizations and consider imperfections arising from the interaction of the market organization with its environment. Second, the issue of cooperation in a competitive environment is thoroughly analyzed and alternative social trade organizations are designed to dissipate the allocation problems that arise in these situations.
