The Lawn: A Social History

Synopsis

"Australian science writer and broadcaster Peter Macinnis presents astonishing facts and anecdotes about our obsession with the perfect green. He collects statistics on mowing accidents and mortality and observes our battle to keep the lawn short and pest- and weed-free. With its fun, mock-kitsch design and both contemporary and nostalgic illustrations, this is a highly entertaining exposition on how a patch of clipped grass has become an integral part of our very existence."
