The Pull of the Earth is Laurie Thorp's dirt-under-the-fingernails
ethnography of four years in an elementary school garden and the
ways in which this garden catalyzed cultural transformation and
inspired hope, growth, and community. Filled with photographs,
sketches, poetry, and journal entries, Thorp's engaging book
describes the educational benefits of learning through the
environment: lessons on nutrition, the rhythms and cycles found in
nature, and the stability found in entering a reciprocal
relationship with the land. It will be a valuable resource for
educators, environmentalists, and ethnographers.
