Industry Reviews "This inviting visual history of world gardening, consisting of several hundred photographs and long captions, simultaneously unfolds along two complete different conceptual paths, sort of like a CD-ROM between hard covers. The first path is chronological and cultural..., while the second is thematic and cross-cultural." New York Times Book Review - Michael Pollan (12/08/1996)
