American Canopy

Rutkow tells stories both poignant (e.g., the destruction of the world's oldest tree) and inspiring (e.g., the formation of national parks to protect forested areas) and presents the facts of this history in an easy-to-absorb and clear manner.

City Farmer

This timely, well-written work offers an insightful and inspiring look at gaining control of one's food and references other works that provide how-to knowledge and additional discussions of the current food movement. Although not a step-by-step planting guide, it contains sidebars full of helpful tips that may motivate black-thumbed gardeners to at least contemplate taking a trowel to dirt and begin a small garden of their own. Highly recommended.
