Landscape Restoration Handbook, Second Edition

This is the best restoration book I have found. I am hoping that by back tracking the references I will find more books like this. So much of what has been written about landscape restoration is theoretical. Theory is good for making you think new thoughts, but not so helpful in actually getting something new envisioned and designed. This book is succinct, the information is densely packed but well written. I am a graduate student and have been reading about restoration ecology for the past 4 or 5 months. Finally, this book is on the right track with information that could fuel a great introduction, as well as more specific information that could be used as the basis for an actual proposal. The references are sound and respectable. I am relieved to have found it!
