Noah's Garden: Restoring the Ecology of our Own Backyards (inscribed)
Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1993. First edition. Hardcover. Second printing. Inscribed on the title page: "To Maggie, Sara B. Stein." Uncommon signed. An influential book that argues for ditching manicured ornamental gardens and lawns for ecologically-sensitive yards of native species attractive to wildlife and narrates her own "ungardening" experiment at home in Pound Ridge, NY. Blurbs from Michael Pollan, Roger B. Swain, and John Mitchell. Sara Stein wrote a sequel to this book as well as science-minded books for children. Very good plus with very minor bumping to spine ends and some faint foxing to page edges. A neat non-authorial "happy birthday" inscription on the front illustrated endpaper. In a very good or better jacket with some light creasing to spine ends, rubbing, and some minor scratching to rear panel. Very good / Very good. Item #1579
