In it, Wendell Berry argues that good farming is a cultural development 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. We continue to suffer loss of community, the devaluation of human work, and the destruction of nature under an economic system dedicated to the mechanistic pursuit of products and profits. Although "this book has not had the happy fate of being proved wrong," Berry writes, there are good 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. 651 0 $a United States $x Rural conditions. 650 7 $a Agriculture $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00801415 650 7 $a Agriculture $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00801646 650 7 $a Rural conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01101474 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 651 7 $a Verenigde Staten. $2 gtt $0 (NL-LeOCL)078939836 941 $a 10 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214021528.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010023020.0 952 $l P1AX906 $d 20230815011418.0 952 $l NVPB663 $d 20230420010326.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20221122011101.0 952 $l REPC017 $d 20220407022714.0 952 $l PEPC626 $d 20220208011557.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210612010248.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20210323011649.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20180605012223.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=59ADC67C5AD211E6A2123B88DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
