Bogens eksempler, der strækker sig over en fem-årig periode fra 2003-2008, er udvalgt blandt flere end hundrede indsendte fuldførte værker og spænder vidt fra bylandskaber til enorme infrastrukturer. Bogen viser et meget højt niveau i dansk landskabsarkitektur, et niveau, der også vil vække international opmærksomhed. Landskabsarkitekturen har – som det vil fremgå af flere eksempler i denne bog – indtaget rollen som skaber af urbane landskaber. En selvstændig position, der danner bindeled mellem traditionel byplanlægning og arkitekturens fortsat uforligelige byggerier. Denne nye dagsorden er blevet kaldt for en flerstrenget planlægning eller ’kulturplanlægning’, der på den ene side skal skabe en øget mangfoldighed og udbud af tilbud til byens borgere og på den anden smukke og forskelligartede byrum. Landskabsarkitekturen bliver her ikke blot det kit, der binder byerne sammen, men en central og dynamisk aktør, der udover passiv skønheds- og naturkomsumption tilbyder aktivt at gribe ind i byens liv og funktion. Det udvikles ofte i tværfaglige samarbejder med arkitekter, antropologer, filosoffer, læger og andre faggrupper.

Denne bog beskriver udviklingen af kongelige og adelige haver og havebrug i vort klima- og kulturområde i 1600-tallet. Arbejdet med disse haver, de erfaringer man gjorde sig med anlæggelse, plantesortiment og dyrkningsfaciliteter, blev optakten til de meget kendte og grundigt beskrevne haver fra 1700-tallet, som f.eks. Frederik IV’s smukke haver ved Fredensborg, Frederiksberg og Frederiksborg.Før 1600-tallet dyrkedes næsten kun nytteplanter i haverne i vort klima- og kulturområde; dvs. uden for de områder, som havde været under romersk indflydelse.Inspirationen til det moderne havebrug kom sydfra. Man begyndte at importere kostbare planter og frø, og man hentede udenlandske gartnere til landet. Både Christian IV og Frederik III arbejdede intenst med Rosenborghaven – sidstnævnte med hjælp fra Paul Klingenberg – men den helt store haveanlægger var Frederik III’s dronning Sophie Amalie.Hendes meget righoldige arkiv fortæller om anlæggelsen af Sophieamaliehaven ved Sophieamalienborg. Til anlæggelsen indkaldte dronningen fire franske gartnere, den ene efter den anden. Da dronningen døde i 1685, var haven fuld af blomster og springvand.Den store udfordring lå i at få de sarte planter til at overleve i vort klima. På dette tidspunkt gjorde ”Den lille Istid” – en usædvanligt kold periode, som var værst i årene fra 1650 og ca. 70 år frem – ikke de dyrkningsmæssige udfordringer mindre. Dronning Sophie Amalie løste problemet med sine kakkelovnsopvarmede ”pommerantzhuse”, hvor hun dyrkede et stort udvalg af importerede planter, som kun kom ud i haven i sommerperioden.Annie Christensen har foretaget en minutiøs gennemgang af private arkiver, bevarede regnskaber i Rigsarkivet, og Det kongelige Biblioteks store samling af havelitteratur fra 1600-tallet. Hun beskriver haverne ved Gottorp, Nykøbing Slots haver, haven omkring Rosenborg, Dronning Sophie Amalies haver og en række andre haver fra 1600-tallet, bl.a. Frederiksdalhaven, hvorfra der findes fyldige plantelister, som belyser hvordan man tilplantede bedene i 1600-tallet.I bogen citeres talrige plantelister fra 1600-tallet og det giver et unikt indblik i udviklingen af plantesortimentet i århundredet. Her findes selvstændige kapitler om dyrkningsfaciliteter og plantesortiment på Gottorp, dyrkning af eksotiske planter og dyrkning af køkkenurter. Hertil kommer fyldige bilag, appendiks, litteraturliste og kilder, som kan hjælpe interesserede videre i udforskningen af den tids havebrug.Indbundet, shirtinghelbind, med smudsomslag. Stort format, ca. 25 x 32,5 cm. 2000. Bogen er på 396 sider og indeholder 30 smukke farvegengivelser fra Gottorfer Codex, samt mere end 50 sort-hvide illustrationer, som bl.a. viser datidens haveredskaber, drivhuse, samt planer og stik med gengivelser af udvalgte haver og slotte.Forsiden viser Kong Frederik III og dronning Sophie Amalie til hest, omgivet af blomster og løvværk. Kunstneren er O. Ellinger. De danske Kongers kronologiske Samling, Rosenborg.”Annie Christensens bøger er rige på viden og tanker, meninger og holdninger. De rager op over havelitteraturens frodige underbevoksning som store bredkronede træer”. (Marie Louise Paludan, anmeldelse af Annie Christensens bøger i Weekendavisen).Havehistorikeren Annie Christensen er cand.hort. med afgangsopgave i klimatologi 1979. Licentiatgrad, lic.agro., i 1986, på en afhandling om udviklingen af Gisselfelds haver 1500-1900. Annie Christensen har også udgivet ”The Klingenberg Garden Day-Book 1659-1722” (1997) og ”500 år i en dansk have - tusinder af hænders arbejde” (om Gisselfeldhaven, udgivet i 2004) hos os.

HAVEINSPIRATION FRA RENÆSSANCEN Rette linjer og stringente, geometriske mønstre var fundamentet i renæssancens haver. Men bøger om hvordan man etablerede den slags haver, måtte danskerne lede længe efter, før gartner Hans Raszmussøn Block i 1647 udgav Horticultura Danica, ’Dansk havekunst’. Denne, Danmarks første havebog, giver et unikt indblik i datidens metoder og teknikker, men den er trykt med gotiske bogstaver, sproget er forældet, og mange planter har skiftet navn i løbet af de knap 400 år, der er gået siden udgivelsen. Dertil kommer manglen på billeder af planterne. Alt dette råder cand.scient. i matematik, forfatter, madhistoriker og urteekspert Gunvor Maria Juul bod på i denne bog. Hele Horticultura Danica gengives i et let tilgængeligt sprog, planter nævnes med både datidens og nutidige navne, Blocks havemønstre gøres tilgængelige, og begreber og havepraksis i 1600-tallet forklares. Desuden er hele bogen rigt illustreret med samtidige illustrationer af planter, redskaber osv. Omsat til nutiden kan Hans Raszmussøn Block stadig inspirere – et af hans smukke mønsterbede vil let kunne anlægges i en moderne have, og hans store udvalg af blomster og stauder er en sand guldgrube for enhver haveelsker.

Frans Borgman Hansen and Arkitektens Forlag have taken the initiative to create a significant book which is innovative in its analysis and connection between art broadly understood, architecture and garden art. The book aims to shed light on Japanese architecture and horticulture from the earliest traces to the country's opening to the west in the middle of the 19th century. It has not been seen before that an ambitious overall presentation of the relationship between Japanese history has been made, where architecture inscribes in an analysis of the relationship between contemporary thinking and how this found its expression in the concrete works and conversely its starting point in the concrete. The project will use new photographs taken specifically for the book taken during repeated study and research stays in the country over the past several years. The book's rich illustrative drawings are also drawings for books and provide uniformity throughout the book. It is all tied together as the story of the country and its own understanding in relation to nature and its placement in the world. In addition, reproductions of contemporary artworks and individual borrowed photos will be included. Architecture and nature The gardens and their connection to the visual arts and architecture form the core of the story. They are illuminated through the periodic waves of Chinese and Korean influence through art and thought. Through the ages, they came to characterize the history of Japanese art without, however, at any time being seen as in conflict with the ethnic animistic Shintō view of life. Accordingly, the Japanese interpreted the Buddhist influence by seeking an intuitive understanding in nature. In this they gained a human insight. In nature, the Japanese throughout the ages of history found the eternal in the impermanent. This theme, perhaps more than anything else, became what they wanted to express in their visual arts, architecture, gardening and literature. It is therefore in this light that the history of architecture and gardening will be interpreted in relation to central aesthetic concepts such as imperfection, imbalance, simplicity, loneliness, poverty. Concepts articulated in the art of Zen Buddhism. Through cultural historical analysis, these will explain precisely why the Japanese cultural background demanded this articulation in art. A conceptualization that had also previously been expressed in the pre-medieval conception of nature, first through Shintōism and then in the Heian period through Kūkai's understanding of esoteric Buddhism. A perception of nature that was then also expressed in architecture in the broadest sense. A relationship as Johannes V. Jensen expressed it in 1907 at the meeting with Japan's nature

The Apple: A Delicious History tells the engrossing and richly informative story of a fruit with a unique attachment to the human story. The 10,000-year tale of the round and pleasantly crunchy products of the trees of the genus Malus embraces not only culinary, horticultural, social and commercial history but also age-old traditions in mythology, folklore and religion. Best-selling author Sally Coulthard takes the reader on a fascinating and strikingly international journey - from the apple's earliest beginnings in the mountains of Kazakhstan to the explosion of apple-growing in twenty-first-century China. Along the way, we learn how the apple made its way along the Silk Road from Central Asia to Europe and about its role in the grisly rituals of the Druids; and we discover why, despite there currently existing more than 7500 varieties of apple - from the ubiquitous, astringent Granny Smith to the purple-skinned Black Diamond of Tibet - only a handful of cultivars are available in modern supermarkets. Amplified by apple recipes and the stories behind them, from apple fritters to apple crumble and from verjuice to pomade, The Apple: A Delicious History is the perfect gift book for gardeners, nature lovers - or indeed anyone who likes a drop of cider or a slice of apple pie.

"Imagine yourself in Kyåoto, Japan, gazing at a garden of emptiness. How would you understand what you are seeing? What is the history of this contemplative art form, which has flourished for centuries in Kyåoto, the famed center of Zen arts? What aesthetic principles inform it? Through photographs and commentary, Gardens of Awakening guides you through a series of Zen gardens created from the fourteenth through seventeenth centuries. Some are teeming with plants and flowing water, while others have only rocks and sand. All are associated with particular temples and share a certain Zen aesthetic related to the cultivation of awakening. Zen practice and culture have had a powerful influence on various Japanese art forms, including Noh theater, tea ceremony, architecture, ceramic art, painting, calligraphy, and poetry. In this book we discuss gardens in terms of seven qualities that arise from Zen practice: direct, ordinary, vigorous, gleaning, pivotal, nondual, and inexhaustible. Photographer Mitsue Nagase's outstanding color photographs highlight these qualities and, narrated by beloved Zen calligrapher and translator Kaz Tanahashi, help readers to go deep into the heart of Zen and Zen art"--
