It’s an academic book, so the writing style is a bit too dense to really be enjoyable, but other than that, it’s pretty readable.

Good intro to why lawns are bad, if you didn't already know. Touches on the varying pressures to be "lawn people," where they come from, how they work, and claims that the lawn in some ways holds its caretakers as subjects. I felt he supports his claim about 3/4 of the way. Had some qualms with the science and felt like I could've used more words dedicated to the actual politics and history (tied to demilitarization) of lawns. He says he goes into the lawn's ties with the military-industrial complex, but doesnt really.
