In 2013 our Director Gayle Souter-Brown researched and wrote the international design guide for health and well-being. Although written as an academic text it is deliberately accessible, so anyone with an interest in school playgrounds design, reducing stress in the workplace or at home, preventing and treating depression and dementia, special needs children and therapeutic horticulture will benefit from it .


The following are some articles and reviews of the book. You can buy the book through online booksellers and university book shops.
