The Obsessive Quest For The Perfect Lawn

In his new book American Green, author and environmental historian Ted Steinberg takes on our country's obsessive preoccupation with lush, velvety, green lawns. Steinberg explores the mysteries of the all-American landscape and "mows down" the turf-care industry along the way. The author joins Larry Mantle to discuss the origins of the lawn and the American obsession with maintaining the perfect turf.
