Good to Great
Why Some Companies Make the Leap...and Others Don't
by Jim Collins
How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness? For years, this question preyed on the mind of Jim Collins. Using tough benchmarks, Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least fifteen years. The research team contrasted the good-to-great companies with a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to make the leap from good to great. After over five years of study Collins and his crew discover the key determinants of greatness. The findings include: Level 5 Leaders, The Hedgehog Concept, A culture of Discipline, Technology Accelerators, and The Flywheel and the Doom Loop.

Capturing the Spirit of the Deciduous Forest
by Rick Darke
Author Rick Darke makes a bold call to readers to observe and appreciate the essence of the deciduous forest and to celebrate it in designed landscapes.

Information on planting, soils, and maintenance provides a firm foundation for horticultural accomplishment. An alphabetical listing of woodland plants offers useful advice for every garden, emphasizing native trees, shrubs, vines, ferns, grasses, sedges, and flowering perennials that fit the forest aesthetic.
