Geoffrey Charlesworth is a member of my NARGS chapter and has a second book, 
just the two.  He writes for the chapter newletter, a sharp and opinionated 
but kindly expert.  He has that poem on why your plant died - a great piece 
of philosophy for the garden.  If I am still awake later on, I will type it 
into the list.  Charlesworth is not well known outside of rock garden circles 
but his books cover a great deal of the garden spectrum.  His partner and 
ediitor died this past year so I think there will probably be no more books.  
The two in print are both gems.
