Featured New Book: Designing Wildlife Habitats

Next time you're in the library, be sure to visit the book display near the north windows. This month we spotlight ecological restoration for wildlife, including a broad range of ecology and restoration titles. Of particular interest: Designing Wildife Habitats: Dumbarton Oaks Colloquium on the History of Landscape Architecture XXXIV. To quote the editor, John Beardsley, this symposium explores "the role of design in the protection, management, restoration, and even wholesale re-creation of habitat for wildlife."
