McHarg, Ian. Design with Nature. Doubleday/Natural History Press, 1971. Hardbound. While known for his work in urban planning, McHarg also drew inspiration from the more private spaces of residential gardens, as seen in this skillfully designed and inventively illustrated book, which became an influential text for early permaculturists (McHarg critiques French Baroque gardening design as he commends the English picturesque style for working with nature rather than subjugating it). Features numerous hand-drafted two- and three-color overlay maps, as well as a variety of ingenious photographic juxtapositions.
