The Green Kingdom, Rachel Maddux

I first read this book 35 years ago, while in college. I kept a paperback copy all these years, re-reading it every few years. I just finished it again, and found that, as I grow older, I see it from a different perspective, and come away with a different message. The Green Kingdom has more depth than any book I have read in my lifetime. I love it, and am happy to have found a new printing before my paperback fell apart!
