Second Nature by Michael Pollan
In his articles and in best-selling books such as The Botany of Desire, Michael Pollan has established himself as one of our most important and beloved writers on modern man's place in the natural world. A new literary classic, Second Nature has become a manifesto not just for gardeners but for environmentalists everywhere. "As delicious a meditation on one man's relationships with the Earth as any you are likely to come upon" (The New York Times Book Review), Second Nature captures the rhythms of our everyday engagement with the outdoors in all its glory and exasperation. With chapters ranging from a reconsideration of the Great American Lawn, a dispatch from one man's war with a woodchuck, to an essay about the sexual politics of roses, Pollan has created a passionate and eloquent argument for reconceiving our relationship with nature.
Michael Pollan is the author of seven previous New York Times best-selling books, including Cooked, Food Rules, In Defense of Food, The Omnivore's Dilemma, and The Botany of Desire. He's also the author of Caffeine: How Caffeine Built the Modern World, an audiobook. He teaches writing at Harvard and the University of California, Berkeley, and is a longtime writer to the New York Times Magazine. He was named one of the world's one hundred most important persons by TIME magazine in 2010.
