About
"Jennifer Price explores the ways in which we bring the wilds into our homes and front yards, our retail outlets, our restaurants, our television sets. She wanders towards a new frontier, the intersection of nature and mass culture, in search of answers to the question of what place nature occupies in our hearts and minds. Price sifts through landscapes and artifacts as diverse as eighteenth-century cookbooks, mall architecture manuals and the Mall of America, dinner menus, lawn ornaments, and John Waters movies."--BOOK JACKET.
