Praise for American Eden
“The American garden has found its destined interpreter in Wade Graham, American Eden moves luminously through landscapes of history, literqature, biography, and design theory. Writing in the mode of Lewis Mumford, Van Wyck Brooks, and Alfred Kazinm, Graham achieves a foundational study fusing sharp-edged analysis and graceful American prose.” Kevin Starr, author of Golden Gate;The Life and Times of America’s Greatest Bridge
