"Astro Turf works well as a brief, clear history of a field and the lab that embodied it. It works even better as a piece of cultural criticism. [It] works best of all, though, as a moving memoir of the difficult love between a daughter and father."—The New York Times Book Review

"Our planet is alive and the wondrous web of biodiversity provides us with all we need—clean air, water, soil, and energy, as well as food, medicine, resources. Whatever we do, that's what should be the highest priority for protection and we have to adapt everything else to that end. With this book, McDonough and Braungart open our eyes to the way to genuine sustainability by the study of nature and mimicking her ways. This is a groundbreaking book that should be the Bible for the Second Industrial Revolution."—Dr. David Suzuki, Professor Emeritus, University of British Columbia, and author of Good News for a Change: Hope for a Troubled Planet and The Sacred Balance: Rediscovering Our Place in Nature
