Table of ContentsReviews“Herbs and the Earth is written by a man whose heart and soul, nourished by the sun, rain, and soil, open like blossoms in his own garden. His beautiful prose unconsciously approaches poetry and ones finds oneself reading its cadences as though it were free verse.” —New York Times “Charming, delightful, and a great companion for gardeners and naturalists alike.” —Booklist “A book for two kinds of readers—for garden lovers and for word lovers. If the two happen to be united in one person, as they are in the author, so much the greater chance for the reader to find enjoyment in the book.” —Christian Science Monitor Author InformationHenry Beston was a founding spirit of the modern environmental movement. A New England naturalist, he had his first great success with Outermost House, the journal of a solitary year spent on a Cape Cod beach. Mr. Beston’s “chosen home,” however, was a farm in Maine where he wrote Herbs and the Earth. Roger B. Swain was the longtime host of the gardening television series The Victory Garden on PBS and People, Places, and Plants on HGTV. He holds a PhD in Biology from Harvard University and has written five books about gardening. Bill McKibben is a New England-based environmentalist, educator, and writer. He is the editor of the Library of America volume, American Earth, and author of more than a dozen books including the bestselling Falter, Deep Economy, and The End of Nature, which was the first book to warn the general public about the climate crisis. He lives in Vermont. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
