No Man's Garden: Thoreau and a New Vision for Civilization and Nature

Rating:
Summary: An encouraging view of the future...
Review: A refreshing book with something rare in environmental writing; an encouraging look at the future! This book presents a clear point throughout: technology, civilization, and nature are not at odds with each other, but are best viewed as actually deeply connected and at this point, interdependent.

Summary: A refreshing and insightful book
Review: I had the good fortune to read this book in page proof and enjoyed it immensely. Botkin does a wonderful job of pointing out how Thoreau's methodologies were far in advance of his time and provide us with encouraging examples of how we ought to relate to the natural world on the one hand and the civilized world on the other. Highly recommended--particularly at this remarkably low price for a hardcover!
