Organic gardener and editor Cecil Bothwell explores issues of permanence and change in the back yard and around the globe in this collection of essays. No aspect of the home garden is too small nor global calamity too large to escape his gaze and thoughtful humor. Readers will find practical advice on planting and pruning, composting and mulching, raised beds and hydroponics, leavened with forty years of experience through drought and deluge, blight and slugs. Yuck.

A blend of memoir and natural history that looks at faith and science and the way both influence society and planetary ecology.

A basketful of slightly out-of-kilter short stories written at the tail end of the last century, beginning and ending with beautiful bangs.
