Contained are two books in one.
Part One entitled “The Game of Life” chronicles the professional and personal life of the author. One does not become a successful landscape architect in a vacuum. His or her personal life will affect and be affected by what occurs while developing and implementing projects. Likewise, the successes and not-so-successful experiences while trying to build the business will affect one’s personal life. Photos of designs and actual landscapes are shared as well as some sports memorabilia. Book One provides a detailed non-fictional narrative for a person who is really serious about becoming a top-notch landscape architect. The work will be hard and intense. One may crash and burn, but, if committed like a phoenix the budding professional will succeed just as the author has.
Part Two entitled “The Meaning of Life” provides an excellent historical perspective about the Anza, California region and how it was settled. For those who are history buffs, this will be a treasured piece. And for those who have a true love of preserving the natural resources of the environment, this book supports this goal through its narrative.
Career in Crisis: A landscape Architect’s Professional Journey is work for the lover of a good story (a textual reality showpiece), the person who wants to begin a business—any business—, the individual who is committed to become a professional landscape architect, and the lover of the history of the desert California.
This book is timely. While people are starting businesses, restarting businesses, and having to restart their lives, this book is for them all. It should be an inspiration for everyone who is trying to survive while his/her career is in crisis.
