Landscape Ecology on Terragrams

I recently found this wonderful podcast hosted by Craig Verzone from Verzone Woods Architectes called Terragrams. They interview great designers such as Ken Smith and James Corner. My favorite episode is with Richard Forman. He is a wonderful scholar sometimes referred to as the "father of landscape ecology". I highly recommend his book Landscape Ecology Principles for Landscape Architecture and Land-Use Planning. It is simple and fundamental. In the interview he mentions his new book out Urban Regions: Ecology and Planning beyond the urban city. Within the book Forman presents a critical look at 38 different cities around the world, comparing science, planning, and society.
