The Man Who Created Paradise: A Fable
Gene Logsdon. Ohio University Press, $20 (72pp) ISBN 978-0-8214-1407-1
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.
