• catalog abstract ""In No Man's Garden, Daniel Botkin takes a fresh look at the life and writings of Henry David Thoreau, setting the stage for a new way of viewing our relationship to nature and how we should manage our place on the planet. He offers an insightful reinterpretation of Thoreau as a man who loved wildness, but who found it in the woods and swamps on the outskirts of town as easily as in the remote forests of Maine, and who valued equally the pleasures of human civilization and the natural world." "No Man's Garden presents a vital challenge to the conventional wisdom of both environmentalism and its critics, and will be must reading for anyone interested in developing a deeper understanding of the relationship between people and the natural world."--Jacket.".
