gardener for the New York City parks department. His first book, The Recording Angel (Penguin, 1986), is a study of recorded music as an art.An astonishing and original vision of our relationship with nature and the history of our attempts to balance wilderness and civilization.brbrFor thousands of years we have dreamt of going back to a place, to a time -- Eden, Arcadia, the Golden Age -- to a paradise we ourselves have never known. The Ecology of Eden is an extraordinary inquiry into this dream, into the sense of loss we feel with each new wave of civilization, into the vexing paradox of human life: that the more we profess our love of nature, the more thoroughly we destroy it.brbrThe Ecology of Eden sheds a bold new light on current environmental problems by examining the bedrock place Eden holds in the Western psyche, and how it has both reflected and disguised our actual dealings with nature.brbrThrough an amazingly broad range of discussions spanning evolution, ecology and molecular biology, myth and anthropology, religion and Bible studies, history and literature, landscape and urban studies, farming and gardening, Eisenberg explores the actual circumstances of the exile from Eden. He also shows how we can make our peace with that exile, not by going back, but by looking forward.brbrBut one cannot reduce the book to the skeleton of its thought, because so much of its worth and its pleasure lie in the flesh, in its abundant scholarship, the surprise and richness of its associations, its authoritative and engaging voice.  (less)
