The Man Who Created Paradise: A Fable Book

This charming fable about a man reclaiming strip-mined land with an old bulldozer and creating lovely small farms is the purest distillation yet of what Gene Logsdon has been writing as a journalist and author through the course of some twenty books of nonfiction and hundreds of magazine articles. Environmental restoration is the task of our time. The work of healing our land begins in our own backyards and farms, in our neighborhoods and our regions.

Publishers Weekly

Prolific environmental writer Gene Logsdon tells the inspirational story of a man who singlehandedly reclaims an Ohio farm from strip-mined land in this plainspoken short narrative, accompanied by Gregory Spaid's eloquent black and white photos and a foreword by Wendell Berry. Inspired by a true story, The Man Who Created Paradise: A Fable looks like a handsomely illustrated gift book, but it is also something more ambitious: an implicit call to readers to create their own small sustainable spaces.
