Inhaltsangabe

Dust jacket notes: "Euell Gibbons, world famous as a forager of wild foods and herbs, and an expert in their uses in the field or home kitchen, has always been concerned with preserving man's environment. For some years he has written a column on related topics for Organic Gardening Magazine. That material is the genesis of this, his sixth book. The articles are merely the basis for the book, which has been extensively developed, with much fresh and timely thinking, and new material from him on the good life. To him, the good life is sharing and enjoying nature, and maintaining an environment where natural things can flourish unhampered by man's carelessness or indifference to the bounty and privilege nature offers all of us. In the book he explores the pleasures of camping out without polluting or plundering, and recreates many memorable journeys into the wilds. He tells of living off the land and preparing the products therefrom with skill and imagination. And he offers an abundance of specific solutions to ecological problems that individuals and groups anywhere across this land can readily adopt to bring about an immediate improvement in the quality of life around them. At a time when most men are crying doom, this book breaks through as a brilliant celebration of life and a reaffirmation of Gibbons's belief that we truly can redirect our destinies through the brotherhood of man and of man and nature...."
