Fort, Tom: The Grass Is Greener

popis: In this text, Tom Fort traces the history of lawns from the first mention (Henry III) through famous lawns to the present day, interspersed with his own efforts over the year of the book in creating the perfect lawn. The English are universally acknowledged to be the lawn creators, coming up with most of the games based on grass, as well as the original grass-cutting machines. The inventor, Edwin Budding, is one of the heroes of the book. Another interesting aspect of grass is that it is almost entirely a male concern. Tom Fort's delightful book is an examination of the psychology of the lawnmower, and includes interviews with key obsessive lawnmakers of today.autor/autori: Fort, Tomvydal: HarperCollins, 2001číslo produktu: 10176162dodanie: v SR: od 2 €, pri objednávkach cez obooks.sk osobný odber 2x Bratislava (0 €), na 500+ PickUp pointoch (od 2 €) ; v ČR: dodanie od 75 Kč a osobný odber v 2000+ miestach; v EU a svet: platba vopred, poštovné podľa váhypoznámka: Fotografia je ilustračný obrázok, použitý produkt môže vykazovať známky menšieho, alebo väčšieho použitia, nemusí mať prebal ak ho mal pri výrobe, prílohy a odnímateľné časti.
