Though
essential to our existence, plants get sidelined in the hustle and bustle of city
life. The revolutionary concept of 'eco-landscaping' heralds the effort to bring
greenery back into the concrete jungles we inhabit. Plants: Why You Can't Live
Without Them explores how our homes and offices can be made healthier and more cheerful
with plants.
Air-conditioned rooms, synthetic building materials and inadequate ventilation cause
numerous respiratory and nervous disorders. The mere presence of plants has been
proved to lessen environmental pollution, increase labor productivity and reduce the cost
of health care. Plants also provide medicinal herbs and nutritious food that go a
long way in extending our lifespan. From the freshening up of indoor space, to
creating a variety of gardens, and to natural methods of waste recycling, Plants
elaborates the diverse means by which to enhance our living.
Produced after many years of scientific research and data collection, this book is
a comprehensive study of the amazing benefits of plants, which are nature's gift to us and
provide us sustenance.

"Growing
Clean Water"
Nature's
Solution to Water Pollution
by
B. C. Wolverton,
Ph.D.
and
John D. Wolverton
Dr. Wolverton and his son, John, chronicle the history
of the development of phytoremediation techniques for the treatment of domestic
wastewater, industrial wastewater, stormwater and agricultural operation run-off. This
book is written for the general audience in easy to understand language but is also useful
to the engineering community. Its goal is to educate the reader so that they might
approach their municipal officials about available natural technologies with facts and
data in hand. Systems are detailed and data given from the first aquatic plant wastewater
treatment system at NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center to Wolverton Environmental
Services, Inc.'s latest system.
Data is provided within the chapters in easy to understand bar charts. The Appendix
contains technical data for use by engineers, other professionals and students.
Also, included in the Appendix is a sample design sketch for a single home wastewater
treatment system.
This book is must read for those concerned about the environment, those charged with
decision-making in small towns and communities and concerned citizens.
