"An extremely handy reference book ...asource of inspiration for the study, simulation and prediction of groundwater quality..." 
P. Stuyfzand and B van Breukelen, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
"Highly informative and comprehensive. It is detailed, but easy to read. The authors provide wide ranging examples of environmental case studies and demonstrate their broad knowledge of the field. I highly recommend this book as the primary textbook for groundwater geochemistry classes and as at least a supplemental text for general environmental geochemistry courses..."
Sabine Goldberg, USDA-ARS in Vadose Zone Journal, published on line 8 March 2006.
"..Arealistically priced title for students and graduates wanting to extend their knowledge of groundwater chemistry and soil-water-chemistry. There are practical examples and models illustrated to ensure a better understanding of the application of theory to real life situations..."

How Our Surroundings Shape Our Thoughts, Emotions, and Actions

The Power of Place

“Hands down the most unique debut YA novel of the year.”

Ivory and Bone

In his new book, Biophilic Urbanism, Phillip Tabb provides a view of how cities can be places of companionship, emotional renewal, and flourishing through the thoughtful integration of nature and natural systems in the built environment. A central theme throughout the book is a recognition that people are not "masters of the universe" but rather "humble citizens of a planet that includes other living entities together in ecological systems." 

While many others have made similar claims, Professor Tabb addresses how to turn these thoughts into practice. He focuses on examples of small-scale urban environments and addresses how biophilic design – from backyard gardens to woodland pathways and shared green spaces – can contribute to social, emotional, and physical well-being of the inhabitants as well as the place we all call home – planet Earth.

Experiences of nature improve our health and wellbeing. Yet, on average Americans spend more than 90% of our lives indoors, then when come outside many times we are in communities that offer little of the living world. In Biophilic Urbanism, architect and community planner Phillip Tabb, shows how to make vibrant experiences of nature in our urban fabric. 

Tabb explores the theory and history of biophilia as a scientific endeavor and how it connects to design. He then lays out a biophilic pattern language, a set of design elements, to help make urban experiences of nature effective. Through case studies the lessons from a number of communities where experiencing nature is part of daily life. Tabb is the master planner of Serenbe, a new community outside of Atlanta that intentionally focuses on bringing nature into the lives of the inhabitants. 

—William Browning, Managing Partner, Terrapin Bright Green

This important book gathers up and clearly presents, in design relevant form, the essential understandings, research findings and arguments for the integration of nature into the design of the human environment, from the scale of the individual building to the street, block, neighborhood, community and bioregion. Professor Tabb illustrates how the basic principles and patterns of biophilic design are present in a diverse range of precedents, and in one detailed case study of the new community of Serenbe, located in the Chattahoochee Hills of Georgia, for which Tabb was the Master Planner and in which he now lives in a biophilic dwelling and garden that he designed for himself. The book is timely because biophilic design is increasingly recognized as an essential response to the cascading crises of climate destabilization, species extinction, and global ecosystem collapse. Of particular relevance to readers today is the author’s consideration of how biophilic urbanism can exert a restorative and healing effect on everyday human life in the emerging age of global pandemics. Biophilic Urbanism is a book that not only should be of interest to design and planning students and professionals, but also anyone who is committed to creating a more sustainable, beautiful and life-enhancing home for human dwelling that is in harmony with the natural world.

—Gary J. Coates, ACSA Distinguished Professor, Kansas State University, (editor) Resettling America: Energy, Ecology and Community, and author of Erik Asmussen, architect and The Architecture of Carl Nyrén.

There is no better time than now to reconsider how we design and build the environment in which we reside as a humanity and Dr. Tabb’s Biophilic Urbanism is a practical guide to this transformational process. Due to the COVID pandemic the world is rethinking how to stay healthy in cities, hospitals, nursing homes, schools and other institutions. Dr. Tabb explains the science supporting our need to connect with nature for both human and environmental wellbeing, outlines the various scales of interventions, and lists key precedents with their positive outcomes. Design and engineering students, practitioners, owners and project team members will find the book clear and informative and the precedent tables a helpful metric to use for understanding the effectiveness of biophilic pattern attributes on projects. Biophilic Urbanism in debuting at a time when the world is reconsidering what constitutes progress and how best to move forward to promote human and environmental health. Now indeed is the time to open the doors and windows, let in the sunshine in and the fresh air flow through, infuse buildings with their landscapes, weave nature throughout our cities and shade them with trees, listen to the birds sing and embrace the local culture and ecology of place.

Biophilic Urbanism

"Introduction to Positive Media Psychology made me want to go to college again. To learn about all the ways in which media can be used for good, to inspire and connect us as humans, is what I greatly missed back then. This textbook lays out a positive, hope-inspiring media landscape that is firmly grounded in scientific research. It squares the circle of presenting the state of the art of an exciting new research field in plain language with instructive examples. For students and scholars alike, it will serve as the leading authoritative source on the topic." —Anne Bartsch, University of Leipzig, Germany

"Probably no other perspective has stimulated media effects and media entertainment research as strongly over the past decade as the advent of positive media psychology. The present textbook provides a dearly needed integration of this fast-developing field. The authors are among the leading scholars who have crucially defined this research area and possess a unique expertise. The volume provides an excellent introduction to media psychology both to advanced undergraduate and graduate students and a well-structured overview to more senior scholars. I am confident that it will leave a lasting footprint and provide fertile ground for future scholarship in this field." —Leonard Reinecke, Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Germany
