Book Reviews of Second Nature: A Gardener's Education
Book Review: Should be on everyone's to read list.
Summary: 5 Stars
As has been the case with all of Michael Pollan's books that I have read, he informs with humor and narrative that at times makes me laugh out loud. My all time favorite, however, is Omnivore's Dilemma. I have changed the way I shop in our local market since reading it. This also is a MUST read.
Summary of Second Nature: A Gardener's Education
In his articles and in best-selling books such as The Botany of Desire, 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 has become a manifesto not just for gardeners but for environmentalists everywhere. Chosen by the American Horticultural Society as one of the seventy-five greatest books ever written about gardening, 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 reconceiving our relationship with nature.Essays Books
