Along with lovely photographs by Rich Iwasaki, it relates a personal description, story, or ode to each particular item. As in his earlier work, the author's writing is often quite funny (there's a chapter about the author's misadventures with a wheelbarrow), sometimes moving, very personal, and very entertaining for gardeners and nongardeners alike. A little history, a little storytelling, and another delight from Jeff Taylor. --Mark A. Hetts From Publishers Weekly: Taylor's latest collection of hilarious and often poignant essays is as bracing as a cool drink on a hot day. Using the same format he plied in Tools of the Trade (1996), Taylor zeroes in on a couple of dozen specific garden implements from the humble bucket and wheelbarrow to the tiller, cloche and grindstone using them as springboards for informative, entertaining musings that deftly manage to avoid being folksy. Each chapter is introduced by one of Iwasaki's graceful photographs and ends with a pithy quote from such diverse sources as Thoreau, Luther Burbank, Freud and Goethe. The latter's observation, "There is no sight more terrible than ignorance in action," concludes a chapter entitled "Loppers," which segues neatly from pruning to clear-cutting. Taylor recounts the virtues and shortcomings of his chosen subjects with the expert air of one well acquainted with hard work; at the same time, he offers articulate deliberations on such wide-ranging topics as sleep ("Hammock") and parenting a teen ("Pitchfork"). Taylor can be funny, as when recounting a barefoot encounter with a stray trowel that left him "spitting out synonyms for fertilizer," and lyrical, as in the essay, "Gloves": "Hands can pick up a coconut or a snowflake, count tiny seeds or lift watermelons, stroke a lover or field-strip an automatic weapon." Calling himself "an average Joe Hoe," Taylor is any gardener's dream neighbor especially if he lends out his hand tools. Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
