Amazing read! The beginning can glaze the eyes with the industry-specific terms and details but it blows me away at how detailed the research can be! I'm glad I hung in there and made the effort to understand some of the references becuase I really got excited around chapter 4 with the information about water management and chapter 5 where the garden is actually described!

I had to bookmark a bunch of the graphics to refer back to and so glad there were quite a few photos and images.

The drawback is from now on, and I've already experienced this, is cringing when I see a reference to the urban legend.
