Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen

From its opening parable gleaned from the news about a lost child saved in an astonishing way, the book moves on to consider a world of surprising and hopeful prospects ranging from an inventive conservation scheme in a remote jungle to the backyard flock of chickens tended by the author's small daughter. Whether she is contemplating the Grand Canyon, her vegetable garden, motherhood, adolescence, genetic engineering, television watching, the history of civil rights, or the future of a nation founded on the best of all human impulses, these essays are grounded in the author's belief that our largest problems have grown from the Earth's remotest corners as well as our own backyards, and that answers may lie in those places, too. This text is a hopeful examination of the people we seem to be, and what we might yet make of ourselves.
