Overview"Chasing Eden is about seekers, Americans searching for their Eden, longing for a Promised Land, a utopia somewhere out on the horizon. With his usual deep perception, humor, and grace, Howard Mansfield writes about ""a small gathering of Americans"" united by longing and devotion in their search for something perfect here on earth, a goal that is ever receding. Mansfield illuminates how this longing – for God, for freedom, for peace – can be found in every era, and gives form and force to our lives in our pursuit of happiness – ""the primary occupation of every American."""

Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationHoward Mansfield sifts through the commonplace and the forgotten to discover stories that tell us about ourselves and our place in the world. He writes about history, architecture, and preservation. He is the author of a dozen books, including In the Memory House, The Bones of the Earth, The Same Ax, Twice, and Dwelling in Possibility: Searching for the Soul of Shelter which The Boston Globe called “a wholly original meditation that’s part observation of the contemporary built environment, part cultural history, part philosophical account, and at times something like a Whitmanian poetic survey.” He lives with his wife, the writer Sy Montgomery, in New Hampshire.
