It belonged to someone else and I didn’t have the time to finish it while I had it in my possession.

This book is informally organized into two sections. The first is an overview of Fukuoka's philosophies regarding re-greening the man-made deserts of the earth. The second is part of the story of how he came to these philosophies, where he has seen them work, and how he himself applied them. When I started reading the first part seemed a bit preachy and out of character for Fukuoka. It was not until I finished reading the book that I understood why it was presented in that way. Maybe it could have been better organized but the text is sounds and the philosophies are reasonable, even if sometimes a bit ethereal. The book is profound and inspiring just as one would expect from Mr. Fukuoka. I would suggest a read, especially if you enjoyed The One Straw Revolution, just don't get lost in the first part and you will come to understand his message.

Such a great book for someone who wants a garden and who is also loving in the California desert. I found so much help within these words as he traveled the world trying to stop the spread of deserts. Plus I love the note in the back about green publishing why aren’t all publishers doing this why can’t we have books and nature too!
