In A Brief History of Gardening, Harvard graduate and gardener Neil Fairbairn chronicles more than 8,500 years of gardening with wit and irreverence. Fairbairn's gift for story-telling is evident throughout this engaging glimpse at the history of seed-sowing throughout the world, beginning in 6500 B.C. to the year 2000 and beyond. The book's nine chapters are arranged chronologically and are comprised of short, informative entries covering a particular person, event, or movement important to gardening. Readers will learn: -- The first evidence of conservation dates from 2700 B.C. China, where an agricultural document taught that "mountains exhausted of forests are washed bare by torrents" -- The Kama Sutra directed virtuous women in A.D. 350 to keep a garden, perhaps to work up an appetite for the other activities detailed in the text -- England in 1597 did not take kindly to the American tomato, believing it to be not only poisonous but also "of ranke and stinking savor" More than 250 full-color photographs and illustrations grace the entries, and each chapter contains a two-page timeline that gives readers a sense of movement through history. Pairing an elegant, clean design with a lively tone, A Brief History of Gardening is a beautiful and entertaining guide sure to be picked up again and again.

This study traces the origins of conservation thinking in America to the naturalists who explored the middle-western frontier between 1740 and 1840. Their inquiries yielded a comprehensive natural history of America and inspired much of the conservation and ecological thinking we associate with later environmental and ecological philosophy. These explorers witnessed one of the great environmental transformations in American history, as the vast forests lying between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi gave way to a landscape of fields, meadows, and pastures. In debating these changes, naturalists translated classical ideas like the balance of nature and the spiritual unity of all species into an American idiom. This book highlights the contributions made by the generation of natural historians who pioneered the utilitarian, ecological, and aesthetic arguments for protecting or preserving nature in America.
