Plants in Design emerged from Brad E. Davis’s and David Nichols’s love for plants and well-designed landscapes and a previous frustration with landscape design guidebooks. While most landscape and garden design resources focus either on design principles or on plant materials, the unique strategy of Plants in Design provides a palette of options organized by mature size and scale, covering many genres of plants from grasses to herbaceous perennials, woody shrubs and trees, and even annuals and interior plants—all of which are necessary for consideration when composing a well-designed landscape. Plants in Design combines two fundamental components of landscape and garden design: (1) principles and uses of plant material (e.g., color, line, texture), and (2) resource information for analyzing and selecting a broad range of plant materials, from annuals and ground covers to shrubs and trees, for southern landscapes (USDA hardiness zones 6 to 9). Introductory chapters discuss plants and their uses in creating outdoor landscapes in settings ranging from small-scale applications (e.g., courtyards, walkways) to medium- and large-scale projects (e.g., streetscapes, parks). Richly illustrated with approximately 1,750 color photographs, Plants in Design depicts plant shape, form, characteristics, and landscape use, both to aid identification and to envision how individual plants might appear in a composition. The authors promote the use of native species to benefit native wildlife and point out the dangers of many nonnative plants widely used in the past and now threatening natural ecosystems. Featuring five hundred southern landscape plants organized into fifteen categories, ranging from large trees to ferns and flowering annuals, plant accounts include scientific and common names, hardiness zones, flowers and fruit, growing conditions, and pests and diseases. The guide also includes drawings, a hardiness zone map, glossary, bibliography, index, and design-use tables for quick reference.

Anger management is not a skill you learn. It is a life changing achievement. There is such a freedom in having control over your anger instead of allowing your anger to have control over you. This book is geared towards learning techniques, scripture references, and applications which, when learned, will help you deal with the root issues of anger as well as learn daily applications for overcoming the control and effects of anger in your life. The real issue with Christians and anger is that it tends to be hidden (like sexual sins). But, because we are Christians, we want to try to appear perfect, and letting people know we have an anger problem might make us look "unchristian." So we take it out on those closest to us and "outsiders" never know. Because displaying anger in inappropriate ways is sin, many Christians are constantly beating themselves up, but they have no idea how to change, or where to go for help. This book includes help not only those with deep rooted anger problems, but also people dealing with everyday issues which lead to possible inappropriate displays of anger. It is written from the authors' personal perspective and includes many narratives about how she used inappropriate anger during the early years of her marriage, and in raising her children, and the methods she learned about controlling her anger. Chapter titles include: Choices, Self-Talk, Our Thought Process, Emotions & Anger, Rejection, Unrealistic Expectations, We Want Our Way, Act or React, Passive, Aggressive, or Assertive?, Seeing Others' Perspective, Goal Setting, Are You Angry At God?, Fair Fighting, Parenting & Anger, and Taking Time-Outs.
