Working With Nature: Saving and Using the World's Wild Places

In the world of capitalism, people and businesses alike are always trying to mine all of the world's resources for all they are worth to get as much as possible as fast as possible. In this practical call for sustainability and retention of our planet's life, Jeremy Purseglove explains how sustaining the landscapes around us can mean the difference between prosperity and ruin. Presenting a story of work - often in extreme environments - to both harvest nature and protect it, this book proposes a gardening plan on a global scale. Using a plethora of examples that range from cocoa farming in Ghana to the desert badlands of Pakistan, this fresh and insightful look into preservation will offer solutions to our efforts at conservation.
