Chasing Utopia
A fascinating, non-partisan exploration of an incendiary region Say the word “Israel” today and it sparks images of walls and rockets and a bloody conflict without end. Yet for decades, the symbol of the Jewish State was the noble pioneer draining the swamps and making the deserts bloom: the legendary kibbutznik. So what ever happened to the pioneers’ dream of founding a socialist utopia in the land called Palestine? Chasing Utopia: The Future of the Kibbutz in a Divided Israel draws readers into the quest for answers to the defining political conflict of our era. Acclaimed author David Leach revisits his raucous memories of life as a kibbutz volunteer and returns to meet a new generation of Jewish and Arab citizens struggling to forge a better future together. Crisscrossing the nation, Leach chronicles the controversial decline of Israel’s kibbutz movement and witnesses a renaissance of the original vision for a peaceable utopia in unexpected corners of the Promised Land. Chasing Utopia is an entertaining and enlightening portrait of a divided nation where hope persists against the odds.

Rhododendrons of the World and how to Grow Them
"This is the most comprehensive book on rhododendrons ever to be published and should be the definitive one on the subject. It covers planting, care, diseases, propagation, forcing, greenhouse culture and hardiness; it gives a history of rhododendrons, their distribution all over the world, their plant anatomy, their adaptability to garden use and what other plants to use with them. There is a detailed listing of 148 species, information which has never been assembled before, and there is also a comprehensive chapter on hybrids. Because every aspect of the subject has been exhaustively covered, this book will be of use anywhere in the United States or Great Britain where rhododendron growing is at all possible. It is entirely practical for the average gardener and should be an invaluable reference work for such specialists as nurserymen, landscape architects, and professional horticulturists"--Book jacket.
Our Life in Gardens
This is the third book we have written together, though separately we have written others . . . But to say ‘written separately' makes no sense, for when two lives have been bent for so many years on one central enterprise—in this case, gardening—there really is no such thing as separately." With these words, the renowned garden designers Joe Eck and Wayne Winterrowd begin their entertaining, fascinating, and unexpectedly moving book about the life and garden they share. The book contains much sound information about the cultivation of plants and their value in the landscape, and invaluable advice about Eck and Winterrowd's area of expertise: garden design. There are chapters about the various parts of their garden, and sections about particular plants—roses and lilacs, snowdrops and cyclamen—and vegetables. The authors also discuss the development of their garden over time, and the dark issue that weighs more and more on their minds: its eventual decline and demise. Our Life in Gardens is a deeply satisfying perspective on gardening, and on life.
