Future Nature, revised edition Bewertungen

'Adams wants us to begin thinking about nature in the city and of the city as part of nature. Our suburbs no longer separate city from the countryside. This is what we have left. Because half of the planet's six billion people now live in cities, we need to focus on making the city livable. Bringing nature into it may be crucial.'
Review of Radical Political Economics

'Well documented and beautifully written, there are lessons to be learned from this well-told story.'
Marilyn K. Alaimo, garden writer and library volunteer, Chicago Botanic Garden. Current Books on Gardening and Botany, April 2004.
