| Author Michael Pollan examines many aspects of growing plants and their impact on society. |
In
his articles and in best-selling books such as “The Botany of Desire” and
“Omnivore’s Dilemma,” Michael Pollan has established himself as one of our most
important and beloved writers on modern man’s place in the natural world.
A
new literary classic, “Second Nature: A Gardener’s Education” has become a
manifesto not just for gardeners but for environmentalists everywhere. “As
delicious a meditation on one man’s relationships with the Earth as any you are
likely to come upon” (The New York Times Book Review), “Second Nature” captures
the rhythms of our everyday engagement with the outdoors in all its glory and
exasperation.
With
chapters ranging from a reconsideration of the Great American Lawn, a dispatch
from one man’s war with a woodchuck, to an essay about the sexual politics of
roses, Pollan has created a passionate and eloquent argument for re-conceiving
our relationship with nature.
