by Robert Pogue Harrison (Author)
Humans have long turned to gardens - both real and imaginary - for sanctuary from the frenzy and tumult that surrounds them. This book offers an examination of the many ways gardens evoke the human condition. It shows how the garden has served as a check against the destruction and losses of history.
