In it, Wendell Berry argues that good farming is a cultural and spiritual discipline. Today's agribusiness, however, takes farming out of its cultural context and away from families. As a result, we as a nation are more estranged from the land--from the intimate knowledge, love, and care of it. Sadly, his arguments and observations are more relevant than ever. Although 'this book has not had the happy fate of being proved wrong, ' Berry writes, there are people working 'to make something comely and enduring of our life on this earth.' Wendell Berry is one of those people, writing and working, as ever, with passion, eloquence, and conviction. 650 0 $a Agriculture $x Economic aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Agriculture $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Nature. 651 0 $a United States $x Rural conditions. 700 1 $a Offerman, Nick. 710 2 $a Recorded Books, Inc. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804025144.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=797DEC5E13BB11ED9C55A27642ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
