THE ECOLOGY of EDEN by EVAN EISENBERG
SUMMARY

The Ecology of Eden is a book that contained many views to help people to see, to imagine, to learn, to understand, to enjoy etc…then the people can take experience in this book to apply in their life. This book was written around 1998 by Evan Eisenberg.
This book contains fours parts:
1.- Waves:
Evan Eisenberg described life is like a food chain “What most of us call the food chain – the hierarchy of who eat whom – better called the tropic pyramid, since it is broad at the base and tiny at the top” P.(4). The alliance in the community is necessary. According to Eisenberg “The Oldest alliance is the grandest of all, and the smallest as well.”P. (12). . The reaction against the nature occurs because “the “nature” phenomena discussed earlier. Farming – some have agued – is deeply unnatural, a distortion of human nature from which all our later ills have grown. Others think it just as unnatural, but call it a splendid triumph over our animal nature, and the seed of all our progress.” P. (61)
2.- The Mountain and the Tower:
“The myth …..of” What do all places have in common?.”P. (71) Evan Eisenberg makes it all clear in this part and he also has a wise point of view with internal, transcendent nature. He wrote the poem with two sentences as:
“Man, the tallest, cannot stretch to heaven.
Man, the widest, cannot cover the earth.”P. (116)
Do you think nature is game for anything?
3.- Idylls:
This part Evan Eisenberg described some of the excellent gardens. The gardens look like the Heaven on the Earth. Evan Eisenburg’s fantasy of a relation to nature is excellent. Because of Evan Eisenberg’s description of the garden, others can admire them too.
4.- Earth Jazz:
Evan Eisenberg mentions nature should always be lived in and used there and a source of success.
In the summary, I think the Ecology of Eden is a very good book that contains clear information with a remarkable breadth of learning and the metaphor of the maker’s eyes If I have spare time I will read this book again.
