Design, plan, and simulate landscapes with computer modeling tools If you want to model how waterflows will be affected by an upstream dam, or how vegetation growth will respond to irrigation, state-of-the-art Landscape Modeling is for you! Developed by pre-eminent Harvard landscape architects Stephen Ervin and Hope Hasbrouck, it's the first-ever guide to integrating the two-dimensional capabilities of geographic information systems (GIS) and three-dimensional CAD systems in landscape planning. This resource brings together all the technical tools you need to analyze and manipulate landforms digitally, together with the contextual information needed to apply these tools for small- and large-scale land uses, from gardens to regional plans. You get:
Techniques for analyzing, evaluating, designing, planning, and simulating specific landscape types and elements such as water, terrain, and vegetation
A CD loaded with interactive modeling formulas and algorithms, plus demo versions of key GIS and CAD softwares for land elements, together with how-to instructions
Full color international case studies with site plans, photographs, simulations, sound and other landscape effects, and virtual environments

For the first time I present to you an e-book describing the parallel lives of two creative minds, that is, Pierre Auguste Renoir and Albert Einstein. They had more things in common that meets the eye, and I attempted to explore their inner concepts that have created known theories in Physics and the visual arts.
