Inetogether

Résumé du livre

This first volume of essays includes widely read pieces depicting a garden and gardener in Rougemont, North Carolina, in the larger context of life in the twenty-first century and wide-ranging book reviews that are "less evaluative and more plainly thoughtful." A major essay, "Genomes and Words," relates the emergence of genome sciences with a much older, and now rather quaint, "science" -- philology.This book is (as one person put it) "an intersection of ideas and Rougemont" which, perhaps, humbles ideas and elevates the little hamlet that is Rougemont. But often ideas made plainer become stronger, and the state-of-mind that is Rougemont is made richer with them.inetogether seeks to find a middle ground for thoughtful people to read and to think in a world that seems to leave little room for either of those.
