This book is about the soil that supports the world's forests. Forests can be viewed from a range of perspectives all of which are based on soils. Forest productivity is a story that centers on photosynthesis and plant growth, but plant biochemistry is supported by nutrient cycles that are essentially a soil story. Within a region, patterns of forest productivity result from spatial variations in the soils. The diversity of plant species in forests is intrinsically linked with the soil as well; across landscapes, the patterns in vegetation are typically modified- or even controlled- by...

Leonardo da Vinci urged us to look at clouds and stains on the walls and read into them faces, animals and battle-scenes. As Leonardo suggested... in these marks the artist can "discover a resemblance to various landscapes, beautified with mountains, rivers, rocks, trees. Or again, you may see battles and figures in action or strange faces and costumes and an endless variety of objects which you can could reduce to complete and well-drawn forms." Drawing meditations (random marks on paper replace stains on a wall) are scanned into the computer and enhanced in the Photoshop Program. Images are...

There is an inward focus and an outward focus to our lives. Outwardly the focus, for me, was what could be created, what would sell, be acceptable. This was my life in the industrial design world, designing and teaching in all it's aspects. Always the marketplace was kept in mind. Inward focus became possible with fine arts, studying oil painting at the Brooklyn Museum with Reuben Tam, and later printmaking at Columbia University, Teachers' College. The images and sketches in this book are early works as contrasted with MINDWORKS of more recent years. Craftmanship and technique have always...

These mark often are made with graphite, charcoal, and/or...
