Description: Gardening the Earth is a call to practical action which incites hope as well as a sense of urgency. The message is based on hard science - and there are complex concepts to absorb - but this is no theorectical textbook. Written by a botanist whose work has taken him to parts of the globe most of us never see, this is in part an adventure story based on a personal delight in the wonders of the living world.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 132-135).
