Publisher's Synopsis
For introductory courses in Landscape Architecture Construction, Landscape Design, Civil Engineering, Surveying, Agricultural Engineering (surveying), or Architectural Site Design. Also appropriate as a review for state licensing examinations.
LARCH fills the need for a low cost, heavily illustrated, introductory, interactive tool to supplement lectures and technical reference books. It does not assume that the reader is already familiar with the material, as most technical references do, and offers a combination of scope, value, and unique interactivity. LARCH is a digital textbook of the 21st century, a media-rich delivery system for all kinds of examples and illustrations of the technical aspects of landscape architecture. From Eratosthenes to Descartes to Robert Manning, from hard-core number-crunching calculations to humorous images of where and how we park our cars, LARCH takes students of landscape architecture through an interactive exploration of the profession's technical side in a way that no traditional textbook can possibly do.
