sewn PAPERBACK, white paperback with separate very good dust-jacket, very good lightly used copy, opens easily to page 11. previous owner's name. BERRY, WENDELL. The gift of good land: further essays, cultural and agricultural. San Francisco: North Point Press, 1981, second printing, xviii, 281pp., . Dust-jacket design by David Bullen. In the twenty-four essays of this collection, Wendell Berry stresses the carefully modulated harmonics of indivisibility in culture and agriculture, the interdependence, the wholeness, the oneness, of man, animals, the land, the weather, and the family. To touch one, he shows, is to tamper with them all. Here he continues issues first raised in The Unsettling of America; the problems addressed there are still with us and the solutions no nearer to hand. Mr. Berry writes of his journeys to the highlands of Peru, the deserts of southern Arizona, and the Amish country to study traditional agricultural practices. - CONTENTS: An agricultural journey in Peru -- Three ways of farming in the Southwest -- The native grasses and what they mean -- The International Hill Land Symposium -- Sanitation and the small farm -- Horse-drawn tools and the doctrine of labor saving -- Agricultural solutions for agricultural problems -- Energy in agriculture -- Solving for pattern -- The economics of subsistence -- Family work -- The reactor and the garden -- A good scythe -- Looking ahead -- Home of the free -- Going back, or ahead, to horses -- A few words for motherhood -- A rescued farm -- An excellent homestead -- Elmer Lapp's place -- A talent for necessity -- New roots for agricultural research -- Seven Amish farms -- The gift of good land. 9780865470521 ISBN 0865470529.
