Gardens An Essay on the Human Condition synopsis

Humans have long been transformed into gardens - real or imagined - for shelter from the obsession and turmoil that surrounds them. With "Gardens," Robert Hogg Harrison offers his readers a wide-ranging and studied experience of many of the ways parks require gardens. Moving from ancient philosophers' gardens to the homeless gardens of contemporary New York, shows how, time after time, the garden was a test against the destruction and loss of history.

Surviving with the echoes of Western thought and its mysteries, "Gardens" is a continuous continuation of the intellectual journeys of the old Harrison classics, Forests and Dominion of the Dead. Voltaire urged us to cultivate our gardens. With this powerful size, Harrison reminds us of the nature of that responsibility - and its lasting importance to humanity..
