Vulgarity and Nature: Chapter from Robert Grudin's Upcoming Book - American Vulgar

Thu, 15 Dec 2005 00:18:30 GMT

The author of The Most Amazing Thing and Time and the Art of Living, Robert Grudin is a modern day Renaissance Man whose profound insights emerge through both his fiction and non-fiction writings. Despite many other scholars' tendencies to overemphasize logic and reason, Grudin's credence to creativity conjures the aura of fellow polymath and Treehugger hero - R. Buckminster Fuller.

Robert Grudin has wonderfully graced Treehugger with a sneak peak of his next book, American Vulgar. This preview (after the jump) is actually a draft of an entire chapter entitled "Vulgarity and Nature", so be prepared to bookmark this one. The book is scheduled for a Fall 2006 release and will be published by Shoemaker & Hoard. ::Link to another essay from American Vulgar: "The Education of the Vulgar" - and the revised version ::Robert Grudin on Gurteen

MTV, who planted a green seed with Cameron Diaz and Trippin' debuted The Diary of Angelina Jolie & Dr. Jeffrey Sachs in Africa last month. The Philly-based GreenTreks Network production's Life on the Delaware is planning to air on PBS's 349 stations this Fall. 50 Ways To Save The Planet hosted by Danny Seo has even been added to the Cable In The Classroom programming. All these networks are helping to bring much needed eco-awareness to the masses and the MTV productions are a good indication that it's surely slipping into the mainstream.
