Description: Says Warren Schultz, "We periodically hear that the lawn is going out of style, that its outdated and inappropriate. We're told that the lawn, as we know it, is dead. It won't happen. The American man won't let it happen. The front lawn is here to stay. And it's time for someone to sing its praises and celebrate its unique position in American life."

A Man's Turf: The Perfect Lawn looks at why men love the lawn ( does it goes back to survival on the African savannah?); explores how the lawn grew up in America, with trips to the great historical lawns; explores the machines -- reel vs rotary, precision or power, sprinklers and weed poppers -- that make the fawn possible, and explodes the myths of mowing; looks at some amazing grass, with pros and cons of the new varieties; visits the great turf gurus of golf courses, ball parks and trial grounds, with tips from the experts on mowing, watering and weeding; offers ingenious techniques for baffling the enemies of lawns, like weeds, bugs and disease; and provides a unique guide to products and pilgrimages (yes, there is a Lawnmower Museum).

Full of information yet delightfully written, and with over 200 full-color photographs of lawns, pros, plants, toys and tools, A Man's Turf will amuse, educate, and inspire the lawn-obsessed everywhere.
