hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

LEGATURA EDITORIALE. Zustand: NUOVO. Americans throughout history have revealed something of themselves-their personalities, desires, and beliefs-in the gardens they create. Rooted in the time and place of their making, as much as in the minds and identities of their makers, gardens mirror the struggles and energies of a changing society. Melding biography, history, and cultural commentary in a one-of-a-kind narrative, "American Eden" offers a dynamic, sweeping look at this country's landscapes and the visionaries behind them. Monticello's gardens helped Jefferson reconcile his conflicted feelings about slavery-and take his mind off his increasing debt. Edith Wharton's gardens made her feel more European-and superior to her wealthy but insufficiently sophisticated countrymen. Martha Stewart's gardening how-to instructions helped bring Americans back into their gardens, while at the same time stoking and exploiting our age-old anxieties about social class. American Eden moves deftly through time and place across America's diverse landscape-from Revolutionary Virginia to the 19th century Hudson Valley to the Gilded Age; from early Central Park to the Arts and Crafts movement, from the Depression era to 1960s suburban California-illuminating the larger history at hand through more personal dramas. And in every age, we observe how old money and new, established and ascendant social groups reveal themselves in their gardens, essentially providing a map of all these tensions, hopes, dreams, aspirations and contradictions, diagrammed on the ground for all to see. An environmental journalist, garden designer, and American historian, Wade Graham is uniquely positioned to write this book. Beautifully illustrated with both color and black and white images, American Eden is at once a different kind of gardening book, and a different kind of American history, one that offers a compelling, untold story-a saga that mirrors and illuminates our nation's invention, and constant re-invention, of itself.
