Críticas
"The Ecology of Eden is no ordinary book; it is, in fact, something of a masterwork ." - The Globe and Mail
"Ambitious--a broad rumination on the fragile state of the earth's natural environment and what might be done to protect it." - The New York Times Book Review "Eisenberg presents a rich store of information --with dazzling wit and impressive learning." - Washington Post Book World "It's a question many writers have tackled, from Paul Ehrlich to E.O. Wilson: How can we survive while population grows, resources dwindle--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 ChronicleReseña del editor

Softcover. Zustand: Good. "Dazzling . . . a prose epic." --The Washington PostA 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 Review. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers SONG0375705600
