Zusammenfassung:"Landscape architect Alex Novell, and architectural historian John Leroux tell the story of the design, construction, and features of the K.C. Irving Environmental Science Centre and Harriet Irving Botanical Gardens at Acadia University. The centre and gardens took nearly three years to research and design, and a further two years to build. Now, twenty years after completion, the Centre and Gardens are maturing, nurtured by a dedicated team for the enjoyment of generations to come. Lavishly illustrated with full-colour images of the centre, gardens, and plans housed within them, A Natural Balance is an indispensable book for anyone interested in the plants and trees of the Acadian forest and a visual record of a spectacular instance of North American collegiate architecture. In addition to the essays by Novell and Leroux, there is one jointly authored essay by Novell and botanist Melanie Priesnitz, as well as an appendix of Acadian Forest Region plants. A table of contents is attached."--
