&i;`This book is about culture in the deep, ripe sense: a nurturing habit. With unwavering focus, Wendell Berry shows what we lost of our real human American potential when we lost our commitment to living well, in place, on the land.'&o; Gary Snyder. &i;`Wendell Berry makes connections between agriculture and health, family love, marriage, fidelity, and emotional liberation with the fervour of a faith healer and the finesse of a surgeon.'&o; Atlantic Monthly
