AL MOMENTO ESAURITO

Second Nature : A Gardener's Education by Michael Pollan (2012, Compact Disc, Unabridged edition)

In his articles and in bestselling 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. " Second Nature reads like brilliant entertainment, but it is serious wisdom. Michael Pollan...is a genuine heir to my favorite nature writer, Mark Twain." --Simon Schama, The Boston Globe
