In this remarkable journal of visits to Eden, Mabey transports his reader from Cornwall to the Mediterranean to the Tropics, from Old World to New, from present to personal memory, to new perspectives on our collective artistic & emotional past. Sensuous & evocative, exquisitely written, his new book challenges the reader to look differently at the world, & our place in the landscape. At the same time, Mabey is controversial in his views about what we mean by buzz words like 'renewable', or 'sustainable', & he is highly provocative in his final response to the Eden Project itself.
