After two decades in the Southwest studying plant use and
cultivation by the native hunter-gatherers and first farmers of the
New World, Gary Nabhan, one of America's finest naturalists and
nature writers, turns his attention to the Old World, walking the
Franciscan Way, nearly two hundred miles from Florence to Assisi.
Accompanied by a friend, Nabhan enters the heart of the Tuscan and
Umbrian countryside in order to read the landscape as one reads a
sacred book, slowly and with growing delight. He talks with peasant
farmers, truffle sellers, cooks, and bakers, all eager to share
their plants, seeds, cooking methods, and cultural insights with
the American pilgrims. Saint Francis has come to be a model for
what it means to be human in the natural world, and Nabhan takes
him as a guide. This journey becomes a spiritual quest as well as
an ethnobotanical field trip. Together with Nabhan we discover what
is useful in the old ways, what remains wild in the civilized
world, and what in ancient science has survived to make its way
into contemporary culture.
