Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisSince its original publication in 1977, The Unsettling of America has been recognized as a classic of American letters. In it, Wendell Berry argues that good farming is a cultural development and spiritual discipline. But today's agribusiness takes farming out of its cultural context and away from families, and as a nation we are thus more estranged from the land - from the intimate knowledge, love, and care of it. Sadly, as Berry notes in this edition, his arguments and observations are even more relevant than ever. We continue to suffer loss of community, the devaluation of human work, and the destruction of nature under an economics 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., Since its publication by Sierra Club Books in 1977,The Unsettling of Americahas been recognized as a classic of American letters.

Must read
This is a very insightful and through book. I wish it was more widely known and read. There are things such as The System of Specialization which people would really benefit from thinking about. I read it about 15 years ago and that stuck with me. Looking forward to a reread. Well worth owning a copy.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
