”Questioning the social importance of lawn may lead to some interesting conversations and perhaps some heated disagreements, but this book is not the place for that debate. In contrast, the gargantuan amounts of energy consumed by the construction and care of lawns is clear to all, and beyond dispute. And that is the subject of this book.”
