Specificatii
Dazzling . . . a prose epic. --The Washington Post A mountain peak,
a rolling pasture, a boulevard alive with sound and light--each of
us carries, deep inside, a dream of paradise.In this magisterial
contribution to the literature of ecology and the environment, our
nostalgia for the myth of paradise--the primeval, self-sufficient,
nurturing garden where mankind was born--is the starting point of a
brilliant inquiry into what our place in Nature has been and ought
to be. Writing in lively, imaginative prose and drawing deftly upon
disciplines as varied as biology, geology, anthropology, history,
physics, and music, Evan Eisenberg examines the ways in which
people have envisioned and tried to re-create the earthly paradise
even as they have dealt with the often disastrous effects of their
increasing manipulation of the environment. An encyclopedic survey
of efforts to heal the dangerous rift between culture and nature,
The Ecology of Eden is a landmark work that is enormously
suggestive, informative, and a joy to read. It's a question many
writers have tackled, from Paul Ehrlich to E. O. Wilson: How can we
survive while population grows, resources dwindle . . . and the
threat of global climate change looms ominously? Few have explored
it with more originality or historic sweep. . . . A rich harvest,
filled with many kernels of wisdom about the future of our elusive
Eden.--San Francisco Chronicle An ambitious, thickly braided
narrative that makes the clearest bid to nudge the dialectic along.
. . . Eisenberg traces the story engagingly, energetically, with a
remarkable breadth of learning and a metaphor-maker's eye. . . . A
vision of substance and genuine insight. -Los Angeles Times Book
