One of Germany's most lauded landscape designers shares his own journey of discovery to show how anyone can create a timeless and sustainable garden for themselves. In this visually exciting and highly personal book, acclaimed garden designer Peter Berg tells readers how a chance encounter with a scholar of the work of Count Hermann von Pückler-Muskau--a famed nineteenth century landscape designer--provided him with the inspiration he needed to pursue his own stellar career.First Berg introduces Pückler's guiding principles and offers examples of how Pückler's gardens have remained lasting monuments to aesthetic unity, composition, and adaptation to their natural surroundings. Then Berg leads a tour of ten of his own exquisite garden designs. Berg shows today's gardeners how Pückler's visionary principles can be applied to any situation--from urban plots to country cottages.The book also highlights the cultural and ecological impact of these gardens, reinforcing the idea that timeless design principles can be a source of inspiration for creating environments that resonate with contemporary sensibilities. At once a twenty-first century appreciation of Pückler's genius, and a pictorial guide to holistic gardening, this book shows how any gardener can create a contemplative, environmentally sustainable, and harmonious space that will maintain its value for years to come.

PETER BERG führt den Leser in seinem ungewöhnlichen Roman auf eine fantastische Weltreise durch Raum und Zeit, die ihren Anfang und ihr Ende auf dem Mount Tamalpais nördlich von San Francisco findet. Mit den Ohren lauschend dem Ton zu folgen, den unser Planet auf seiner Bahn um die Sonne hinterlässt, das ist die Vision des Malers PiTTo, die ihn umtreibt, seit ihn eines Nachts ein lauter, hoher Dauerton, man nennt dies TINNITUS, überfällt. Die STILLE ist ihm abhanden gekommen. Als er dem amerikanischen Komponisten John Cage begegnet, beginnt er, die Welt der MUSIK anders wahrzunehmen. Mit Hilfe der App 4'33'' auf seinem iPhone lernt PiTTo fortan das körperlose Reisen auf dem Klang. Das eröffnet ihm den Zugang zu einem tönenden Universum. Dabei begegnen ihm einige besondere Menschen, die allesamt ihren eigenen Zugang zur MUSIK, zum REISEN und zur ZEIT entwickelt haben. Werden sie ihm helfen, die verlorene STILLE wieder zu finden?

Dieses Buch ist als Roman aus der Zeit gefallen. Erzählungen brauchen eine Form. Was aussieht wie ein Buch, ist hier nur die Hülle einer komplexen Geschichte. Sie hält die Fragmente zusammen. Als Bruchstücke eines Lebens sind sie überhaupt nicht fiktiv, sie sind durch und durch wahr und somit autobiographisch.Im Gegensatz zu einem Tagebuch ist es ein Nachtbuch, denn es ist vor allem das Dokument vieler Nachtstunden.Ein wesentliches Merkmal dieser Geschichte ist jedoch, dass sie noch nicht zu Ende geschrieben ist, denn sie wird erst ganz zum Schluss von einem Anderen beendet!Lesen kann man die Fragmente dieser Lebensgeschichte der Reihe nach, man kann jedoch auch problemlos im Text springen, Teile auslassen oder gar von hinten beginnen!

If a picture (visual impression) paints a thousand words . The author Peter Berg questions the accepted view of audiovisual perception. His protagonist, the painter PiTTo, shows us that our rather "subservient" sense of hearing, coupled with the uncanny 4' 33" app, can also paint clear and vivid pictures in our mind. Devastated by a sudden and severe Tinnitus, PiTTo takes us along with him as he reluctantly befriends the constant droning in his ears, and in doing so, re-discovers the infinite power and possibilities of sound.

Building on the intensive research of his mentor Maria Thun and the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, Berg explains how the subtle influences from the cosmos work on the plant world, describing the differences among and the significance of root, leaf, blossom, and fruit days in the working calendar. Understanding these natural processes and the practical knowledge described in this book can lead to productive, chemical-free gardening, healthy plants, and abundant harvests.
