Noah's Garden: Restoring the Ecology of Our Own Backyards
What kind of grass is planted behind your house?  What insects  burrow in your soil, and what birds eat them?  What's happening in that compost pile you're so proud of?  This book may well change the view from your patio.  A former old-style  suburban gardener, Sara Stein writes  convincingly of the ecological history of suburbia and the necessity of good stewardship of the land stolen from prairies and forests to  make our back yards.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
