In Bermuda, a man\n\nsingle-handedly grows thousands of trees on a small\n\nisland to restore nesting habitat for a rare seabird. In\n\nIllinois, legions of volunteers replant prairies in the\n\nshadows of freeways. In Virginia, a farmer works to\n\nbring back the mighty American chestnut.\n\nWhat drives these individuals? How did their passions\n\ncome about, and what are the implications for\n\nrestoring the environment? Nature’s Restoration: People and Places on the\n\nFront Lines of Conservation is a lyrical look at these and other examples\n\nof ordinary citizens aiming to return sizable tracts of the American\n\nlandscape to nature, and to health. They’ve found success in preserving\n\nrare species, reversing negative ecological trends, and promoting\n\ngreater intimacy with nature.\n\nYet the work is far from simple. Restoration projects are often in the\n\nnews not only because of the promise they hold, but also because of\n\nthe controversy they provoke. Based on detailed reporting and numerous\n\ninterviews, Nature’s Restoration puts us on the front lines of\n\nrestoration to learn how this burgeoning national movement shapes\n\nboth places and people.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 155963085X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.155963085X.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Friederici, Peter\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
