Taylor's Encyclopedia of Garden Plants: The Most Authoritative Guide to the Best Flowers, Trees, and Shrubs for North American Gardens

by Frances Tenenbaum (Editor), John Morison (Editor), Gordon Anthony (Editor)

This book brings together many of the most prominent contemporary national and international human rights and transitional justice scholars in one collection. The book focuses on the intersection between judges, transitional processes and human rights discourses. It unites doctrinal, socio-legal and criminological perspectives on a range of topics including the judicial construction of national and supra-national constitutions, the role of human rights discourses in transition from conflict, and in a range of sites in more 'settled' societies. The book draws upon comparative experiences in South Africa, Canada, the USA, Britain, Ireland, the Balkans, the Weimar Republic, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and elsewhere. It also situates that analysis within supra-national and sub national frameworks.

At our house, particularly through the green months, Taylor's encyclopedia is planted reliably on the kitchen table. Rarely a meal goes by without someone opening it to check on a propagation technique, a native garden listing, or the proper Latin name for a familiar plant. We splurge on Frances Tenenbaum's well-chosen facts and gorgeous photographs, then we go out into the garden inspired to dig and delve. Our goal is to transform our little yard into a space primarily for native plant species, and this book has guided our progress, though it offers information well beyond the scope of our project. If you plan to purchase just one garden reference book, or if you are looking for a gift for someone who is fairly seriously into gardening, this comprehensive encyclopedia will serve you well. Don't make the mistake of placing it on the coffee table--this hard-working tome belongs at the center of the gardener's home.

My new favorite coffee table book. So practical and loaded with great photographs and advice. Nothing ridiculous like plants that only grow on Mt Everest. Weighs a ton!
