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.Book Review: Delightful reading
Summary: 4 Stars
Michael Pollan's writing is full of metaphors. This book about nature as a human construct was enjoyable to read. I found some parts frustrating because I like the romantic idea of nature even if it is just a human construct. But overall I would recommend this book for a quick read.Book Review: Toni's Gifts
Summary: 4 Stars
Another item I ordered for my partner's birthday. She is a beginning gardner and I hoped this would help her along. I have seen utube video with Michael Pollan and have loved the way he delivers his information.Book Review: Certainly not a how-to book
Summary: 4 Stars
I find Second Nature to be primarily a treatise on urban
landscaping for homeowners--what to do with the land on which
your house sits. A very philosophical approach to gardening.
Book Review: For those of us who want to live sustainably
Summary: 5 Stars
Michael Pollan is a pleasure to read. His perspective is reasonable and timely. It was interesting to read about his experiences and choices in the garden.
