Spanning two centuries, \u003ci\u003eNature Inside\u003c\/i\u003e explores the history and popularity of indoor plants, revealing the close relationship between architecture, interior design, and nature. Studying the international modern interior through the lens of plants in the human environment, author Penny Sparke attributes a degree of the interest in indoor plants to urbanization, and, more recently, the climate crisis, which serve as ongoing reminders that people must maintain a connection to, and respect for, the natural world. While architectural and interior design styles have evolved alongside the popularity of various plant species, the human need to bring nature indoors has remained constant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Penny Sparke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300244029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300244021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 7.70w x 1.00d","brand":"Penny Sparke","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43994515177727,"sku":"9780300244021","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ccc699a8-6933-4656-a856-2839281a2f7a.jpg?v=1683330610","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nature-inside-penny-sparke-9780300244021","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
