Reading this book is like looking through a window into the worlds of agriculture and conservation. It is an extraordinarily clear window- Berry combines his personal experience as a farmer in Kentucky with the experience of his neighbors and friends. He evaluates the environment of America in a calm, level way, honestly evaluating the changes humans have made for better or worse. I loved this book. ( ) Good, I struggled a little more with this than with The Unsettling of America. I found a bit more of his religion dominant in this book and I it gives too much power to a community to be harsh with members that don't live the way the rest do. Their individuals freedoms are often subservient to the groups. While I do think their needs to be a balance and responsibility I don't necessarily believe Berry found that balance in these readings.

The continuing war in Iraq, Hurricane Katrina, the political sniping engendered by the Supreme Court nominations--contemporary American society is characterized by divisive anger, profound loss, and danger. Wendell Berry, one of the country's foremost cultural critics, responds with hope and intelligence in a series of essays that tackle the major questions of the day. Whose freedom are we considering when we speak of the "free market" or "free enterprise"? What is really involved inour national security? What is the price of ownership without affection? Berry answers in prose that shuns abstraction for clarity, coherence, and passion, giving us essays that may be the finest of his long career. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
