From the book: Restraining – for us, now – above all: the ability to accept and live within limits; to resist changes that are merely novel or fashionable; to resist greed and pride; to resist the temptation to "solve" problems by ignoring them, accepting them as "trade-offs," or bequeathing them to posterity. A good solution, then, must be in harmony with good character, cultural value, and moral law. I will be reading more of Wendell Berry. In several instances, Berry articulates my goals and beliefs better than I do. What struck me particularly was the fact that these essays were written in the late 70s, early 80s, but they still speak volumes of truth. They are still applicable to modern agribusiness!

The essays inThe Gift of Good Land are as true today as when they were first published in 1981; the problems addressed here are still true and the solutions no nearer to hand. The insistent theme of this book is the interdependence, the wholeness, the oneness of people, land, weather, animals, and family. To touch one is to tamper with them all. We live in one functioning organism whose separate parts are artificially isolated by our culture. Here, Berry develops the compelling argument that the "gift" of good land has strings attached. We have it only on loan and only for as long as we practice good stewardship. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
