Deep in the Green: An Exploration of Country Pleasures
Alfred a Knopf Inc 1995. Book. Near-Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-fine condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Stated First Edition. Illustrated. NO writing or tears inside book. 283 pages. From Publishers Weekly She may have dirt under her fingernails but New York Times gardening columnist Raver writes with the pen of an angel. In prose marked by eloquence humor and generosity of spirit she opens her gardenand her heartand invites readers to share her enthusiasms and knowledge. The 58 essays here her first collection cover such subjects as earthworms cricket manure and Latin nomenclature; push mowers and the virtues of humble peas whose habit of enriching the soil with nitrogen makes them "like the perfect house guestswho always leave gifts after their stay". Often hilarious as in the discourse on an unguent created for cows' udders that doubles handily as a face cream her reflections become poignant when matters of the garden lead to musings on such larger life issues as a parent's aging or the loss of a beloved pet. Although Raver's garden writing is both informed and practical it's her glorious digressions that readers will most relishher passion for the obsession called gardeningand the opportunity to visit over the back fence with a kindred spirit. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information Inc. From Library Journal In this collection of brief essays on nature life and occasionally gardening the garden columnist of the New York Times ranges widely musing on the life of the sea turtle and the dangers of chemical pest control how weeding the vegetable patch can lead to planning a rose arbor and the satisfaction of mowing a lawn with a hand mower. Many essays are autobiographical ranging in setting from Long Island to Brooklyn to the family farm in Maryland as Raver explores the challenge of gardening wherever she lives with her dog Molly and her cat Mrs. Grey. Raver is at her best when she describes how against her principles she used chemical sprays on her father's roses in order to bring blooms to his hospital bedside. For all whose minds roam while they are on their knees in the garden. Molly Newling Piscataway P.L. N.J. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information Inc. Alfred a Knopf Inc Hardcover

Trees Why Do You Wait: America's Changing Rural Culture
Island Press 1991. Book. Fine. Trade Paperback. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine bright pages. 265 pages. NO writing marks or tears. Richard Critchfield author of the best-selling books Villages and An American Looks at Britain examines the inescapable link between the decline of America's rural roots and the decay of our cities. Trees Why Do You Wait is a moving oral history chronicling the changes taking place in rural America. Through it we meet real people of the heartland and feel the suffering and the strength in their relationship to the land. Library Journal This is a distressing study of the decline of two small farming communities in Iowa and North Dakota by the author of Villages LJ 5/15/81. In the first chapter Critchfield discusses the development and decline of rural societies around the world. He then features interviews with prosperous semi-prosperous and poor farmers from the two communities who provide important insights into the sociological and economic forces that contributed to the decline of farming in their areas. Critchfield asserts that the survival of the urban sector is dependent upon a thriving rural sector and he presents proposals for saving family farms and rural communities from prominent people in agriculture. Like Janet Fitchen in Endangered Spaces Endangered Places LJ 3/1/91 Critchfield offers a disturbing look at America's rural infrastructure. Island Press Paperback

Raeburn Paul
The Last Harvest: The Genetic Gamble That Threatens to Destroy American Agriculture
Simon & Schuster 1995. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall. Near-new condition - NO price clippings - Small remainder mark on top - Price inside dustcover: $24.00 - Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 - Tight spine - Bright pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. - In this book Paul Raeburn an award-winning science writer gives us an eye-opening account of how the genetic manipulation of American crops threatens our food supply - and what we must do to try to avert this disaster. As consumers we want our produce large attractive and unblemished. The problem as Raeburn tells us in this harrowing tale is that we are getting exactly what we want. But there is a price to pay that goes beyond what most of us can imagine. To accommodate our desires our crops are being genetically altered to produce perfectly uniform unmarred fruits vegetables and grains. This uniformity poses a serious threat to American agriculture - a danger that became evident as early as 1970 when 15 percent of our corn crop was wiped out by a fungus that thrived because of the corn's genetic uniformity. New threats to our environment - global warming depletion of the ozone layer polluted air - also endanger our crops. As the environment deteriorates plant breeders are losing the means to adapt. The agricultural gene pool is being drained dry. The tropical and sub tropical areas where wild-crop relatives can be harvested are rapidly shrinking. And scientifically priceless crop varieties developed by peasant farmers over thousands of years are becoming extinct as the Third World discards them in favor of modern commercial crops. The Last Harvest is the first book to explore this important issue. Raeburn alerts us to the full scope of the problem and describes the scientific race to collect the seeds of traditional and wild-crop varieties that may be our only hope of averting catastrophe.
