An invaluable guide to how a large project can exceed against all odds' The Sunday Times-An updated edition of the bestselling story of the Eden Project featuring stunning new photography.At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the impossible was delivered.

It is now undisputedly one of the world's great gardens with more than 17 million visitors flocking there and projects and partnerships all over the world.
