Reviews
"Home Ground is a treasure house of a book, chocked with gems of the American vernacular. To learn these terms for features of the landscape is like putting on a new pair of glasses--the land comes more vividly into focus. But to call this a reference work is to shortchange it--the entries are written by some of our best writers, and the result is an unexpected page turner."-- Michael Pollan , author of The Omnivore's Dilemma "Reading hundreds of pages of alphabetized definitions of landscape terms in one sitting may sound as appealing as spending a long hot day in an Arizona malpais--a desert landscape that is, to quote Cormac McCarthy, "all cracked and reddish black like a pan of dried blood"--but it ends up being a lot of fun."-- New York Times "'Home Ground' . . . is a civilized pleasure, in the way great reference books can be."-- San Francisco Chronicle "One can almost hear mountains and hills bursting into song, and trees of the field clapping their hands."-- Christian Century "A group of writers has collected more than 800 fading landscape terms in a new book -- Home Ground: Language for an American Landscape.
