    <![CDATA[What kind of grass is planted behind your house?  What insects  burrow in your soil, and what birds eat them?  What's happening in that compost pile you're so proud of?  This book may well change the view from your patio.  A former old-style  suburban gardener, Sara Stein writes  convincingly of the ecological history of suburbia and the necessity of good stewardship of the land stolen from prairies and forests to  make our back yards.   ]]>

    <![CDATA[In <em>Noah's Garden</em>, published in  1994, gardener and writer Sara Stein addressed the business of making a messy backyard--of restoring a  naturally chaotic and dynamic &quot;floral-faunal-microbial system&quot; in the place of neatly tended,  carefully selected and weeded, and ultimately artificial gardens. Just as charmingly written as its  predecessor, <em>Planting Noah's Garden</em> furthers Stein's campaign to make lawns animated, full of  disorder, life, and wildness. Studded with ringing tributes to alumroot, trillium, goldenrod, bellworts, and  mayflowers, this is a lovely gardener's manifesto. Packed with practical instructions for planning and  maintaining a garden of one's own, it's also wonderful entertainment for anyone with a green thumb.]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Sara Stein interweaves her own observations with those of linguists, biologists, anthropologists, and psychologists to reveal the world through the eyes of a child -- illuminating the features that their nature leads them to expect (but that contemporary life often disappoints): a place they will come to know intimately through their own explorations, a chance to develop real skills in their play, and adults who pass along, through explanation and myth, a way to comprehend the relationship between nature and culture. She shows how we can restore such pathways to adulthood in our own homes and backyards.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>
