Evan Eisenberg's new book The Ecology of Eden (Knopf), an inquiry into humankind's role in nature, real and imagined, has been hailed as "a masterwork" (Toronto Globe and Mail) and "a prose epic [of] dazzling wit and impressive leaming" (Washington Post). His first book, The Recording Angel, a pathbreaking study of the cultural impact of recorded music, has been translated into French, German, and Italian. His writings on nature, culture, and technology have appeared in The Atlantic, The New Republic, The Village Voice, Natural History, CoEvolution Quarterly, and other periodicals. He has been a music columnist for The Nation, a synagogue cantor, and a gardener for the New York City Parks Department. Born in New York City, Eisenberg studied philosophy and dassics at Harvard and Princeton and biology at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
