520    From the Publisher:  When Richard Reynolds began planting 
       flowers secretly at night outside his tower block in South
       London he had no idea he was part of a growing global 
       movement committed to combating the forces of neglect, 
       land shortage and apathy towards public spaces. But his 
       blog GuerrillaGardening.org attracted other guerrillas 
       from around the world to share their experiences of the 
       horticultural front line with him and become a focal point
       for guerrilla gardeners everywhere. On Guerrilla Gardening
       is a lively colorful treatise about why people illicitly 
       cultivate land and how to do it. From discretely 
       beautifying corners of Montreal to striving for green 
       communal space in Berlin and sustainable food production 
       in San Francisco, from small gestures of fun in Zurich to 
       bold political statements in Brazil, cultivating land 
       beyond your boundary is a battle many different people are
       fighting. Unearthed along the way are the movement's 
       notable historic advances by seventeenth century English 
       radicals, a nineteenth century American entrepreneur and 
       artists in 1970s New York. Reynolds has researched the 
       subject with guerrilla gardeners from thirty different 
       countries and compiles their advice on what to grow, how 
       to cope with adverse environmental conditions, how to seed
       bomb effectively and to use propaganda to win support. On 
       Guerrilla Gardening gives entertaining inspiration, 
       practical reference and no excuses for not getting out 
       there and gardening.
