Book Description
Excerpt from Voices of the Garden, the Woods, and the Fields: Or the Teachings of Nature as Seasons Change There are two books which the Creator has furnished for the instruction of man in the knowledge of himself; the one is the Book of Nature, and the other the Book of Revelation. Both, however, may justly claim the title of books of revelation, and it is as such that we are now to consider the Book of Nature, seeking to arrive at an ih telligent appreciation of the abundant proofs which it discloses of beneficent design, and of the elevated ideas which it unfolds to us of God as the creator and governor of the universe. The Works of God and the Word of God, says the Rev. William Kirby, may be called the two doors which open into the temple of Truth; and as both proceed from the same Almighty and Omniscient Author, they cannot, if rightly interpreted, contradict each other, but must mutually illustrate and confirm.

Book Description
In a time of climate change and mass extinction, how we garden matters more than ever: “An outstanding and deeply passionate book.” —Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals Plenty of books tell home gardeners and professional landscape designers how to garden sustainably, what plants to use, and what resources to explore. Yet few examine why our urban wildlife gardens matter so much—not just for ourselves, but for the larger human and animal communities. Our landscapes push aside wildlife and in turn diminish our genetically programmed love for wildness. How can we get ourselves back into balance through gardens, to speak life's language and learn from other species? Benjamin Vogt addresses why we need a new garden ethic, and why we urgently need wildness in our daily lives—lives sequestered in buildings surrounded by monocultures of lawn and concrete that significantly harm our physical and mental health. He examines the psychological issues around climate change and mass extinction as a way to understand how we are short-circuiting our response to global crises, especially by not growing native plants in our gardens. Simply put, environmentalism is not political; it's social justice for all species marginalized today and for those facing extinction tomorrow. By thinking deeply and honestly about our built landscapes, we can create a compassionate activism that connects us more profoundly to nature and to one another.
