The Essential Agrarian Reader : The Future of Culture, Community, and the Land

Rating:
Summary: The agrarian ethic is essential to our survival
Review: As a fan of Barbara Kingsolver's nonfiction I recommend the book's Foreword, in particular, for a personal and incisive statement of the agrarian ethic and its relevance for this time. Editor Norman Wirzba's counsel that we cannot live well if we do not attend to the human and non-human "bonds of relationship" is also of deep import in an age of mindless surfeit masquerading as self-realization.
