Surrounded by his friends and neighbors, he is both participant and witness as the community attempts to transcend its own decline. And meanwhile Jayber learns the art of devotion and that a faithful love is its own reward.

Berry talks to the reader as one would talk to a next-door neighbor: never preachy, he comes across as someone offering sound advice. He speaks with sadness of the greedy consumption of this country’s natural resources and the grim consequences Americans must face if current economic practices do not change drastically. In the end, these essays offer rays of hope in an otherwise bleak forecast of America's future. Berry’s program presents convincing steps for America’s agricultural and cultural survival.

Equal parts farmer and philosopher, Fukuoka is recognized as one of the founding thinkers of the permaculture movement. But when he was twenty-five, he was just another biologist taking advantage of the unprecedented development of postwar Japan. Then a brush with death shattered his complacency. He quit his job and returned to his family farm. Over the decades that followed, Fukuoka perfected his so-called “do-nothing” technique, a way of farming that dispenses with both modern agribusiness practices and centuries of folk wisdom, replacing them with a system that seeks to work with nature rather than make it over through increasingly elaborate–and often harmful –methods. Fukuoka developed commonsense, sustainable practices that all but eliminated the use of pesticides, fertilizer, tillage, and the wasteful effort associated with them–and his yields matched those of neighboring factory farms. His farm became a gathering place for people from all over the world who wished to adapt his ways to their own local cultures.

Now, more than thirty years after they were first published, Fukuoka’s teachings are more relevant and necessary than ever.]]> 94171 4.45 230 57 1408995 4.03 29 7 8567 4.25 6768 1069 1978242 4.37 19 6 1978 146155 1582431248 9781582431246 24 <![CDATA[A Place on Earth: A Novel]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172178205m/146155.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172178205s/146155.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/146155.A_Place_on_Earth_A_Novel 4.38 174 "A splendid, warm, heartfelt novel about countrymen by a countryman. . .

Winner, Washington Post Book World

"I am tempted to say he understands [Consilience] better than Wilson himself...A new emancipation proclamation in which he speaks again and again about how to defy the tyranny of scientific materialism."-Colin C. Campbell, Christian Science Monitor

"Berry takes a wrecking ball to E. O. Wilson's Consilience, reducing its smug assumptions regarding the fusion of science, art, and religion to so much rubble."-Kirkus Reviews

In Life Is a Miracle, the devotion of science to the quantitative and reductionist world is measured against the mysterious, qualitative suggestions of religion and art. Berry sees life as the collision of these separate forces, but without all three in the mix we are left at sea in the world.

His title reminds us that the very root of economics is stewardship, household management. To paraphrase Confucius, a healthy planet is made up of healthy nations that are simply healthy communities sharing common ground, and communities are gatherings of households. A measure of the health of the planet is economics—the health of its households. Any process of destruction or healing must begin at home. Berry speaks of the necessary coherence of the “Great Economy,” as he argues for clarity in our lives, our conceptions, and our communications. To live is not to pass time, but to spend time.

Whether as critic or as champion, Wendell Berry offers careful insights into our personal and national situation in a prose that is ringing and clear.

By health he means not the mere absence of disease, but the operation of a balanced, nondestructive way of life; his essays on the Amish people of Pennsylvania and Ohio offer a model. "An economy of waste," Berry writes, "is incompatible with a healthy environment"--an environment that operates in balance, within bounds.

With his unmistakable voice as the constant, he dexterously maneuvers through a variety of forms and themes — political cautions, love poems, a play in verse, and a long series of “Sabbath Poems” that resulted from Berry's recent Sunday morning walks of meditation and observation.

Berry's work is one of devotion to family and community, to the earth and her creatures, to the memories of the past, and the hope of the future. His writing stands alongside the work of William Carlos Williams and Robert Frost as a rigorous American testament.

The summer of 1944 finds nine-year-old Andy Catlett in that very town in Kentucky, occupied more with watching meadowlarks and dipping into the nearby spring than with the weary news of the day. But when his Uncle Andrew is murdered, Andy confronts his own sense of culpability for the brawl that took his uncle's life. Told from Andy's perspective some 50 years later, the novel explores the gripping power of memory, even after decades have passed — and asks each of us what in our own pasts we might have remedied.</DIV>]]> 8567 4.25 6768 1069 1996 146206 1582432376 9781582432373 8 <![CDATA[Three Short Novels]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172178250m/146206.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172178250s/146206.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/146206.Three_Short_Novels 4.03 66 Three Short Novels brings together some of Wendell Berry's best-loved shorter novels--Nathan Coulter, Remembering, and A World Lost.

When Nathan Coulter first appeared in 1960, no one could have known that this exquisite coming-of-age tale was introducing us to one of our most distinctive fictional communities: Port William, Kentucky. Remembering (1988), centers on Andy Catlett, who has lost his right hand to a corn-picking machine. A World Lost (1996) is set in the summer of 1944, when Andy, nine years old, is stunned by the news of his Uncle Andrew's murder. Wendell Berry is the sort of writer who changes people's lives, and in his Three Short Novels his talent is abundantly clear.

This small book collects the sayings of Jesus, selected by Mr. Berry, who has contributed an essay of introduction. Here is a way of peace as described and directed by the greatest spiritual teacher in the West. This is a book of inspiration and prayerful compassion, and we may hope a ringing call to action at a time when our country and the world it once led stand at a dangerous crossroads.

The Mad Farmer is a character as necessary, perhaps, as he is regrettable. Here are gathered the individual poems from Berry’s various collections to offer the teachings and bitcheries of this amazing American voice. After the great success of the lovely Window Poems, Bob Baris of the Press on Scroll Road returns to design and produce an edition illustrated with etchings by Abigail Rover. James Baker Hall and William Kloefkorn offer poems here that also show how the Mad Farmer has escaped into the work of others. The whole is a wonderful testimony to the power of anger and humor to bring even the most terrible consequences into a focus otherwise impossible to obtain.</DIV>]]> 8567 4.25 6768 1069 2008 3687368 1582434328 9781582434322 6 <![CDATA[Whitefoot: A Story from the Center of the World]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3687368.Whitefoot_A_Story_from_the_Center_of_the_World 3.76 29 8567 4.25 6768 1069 2008 227271 1593761562 9781593761561 2 <![CDATA[Window Poems]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172875661m/227271.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172875661s/227271.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/227271.Window_Poems 4.20 25 Sabbath Poems, a precursor to which was The Window Poems.

The Window Poems were composed while Berry looked out of the multi-paned window of his writing studio, “The Long-Legged House.” The house is near the renovated farmhouse where Berry and his wife raised their children and continue to live. These poems contemplate Berry's personal life as much as they ponder the seasons he witnesses through the window. This beautiful book was first designed, composed, and printed on a Washington handpress by Bob Barris, at the Press on Scroll Road, with wood engravings by Wesley Bates. Including an introduction by James Baker Hall, this early sequence of poems signals and celebrates the groundwork of Berry's life.</div>]]> 8567 4.25 6768 1069 2007 227292 1887178376 9781887178372 4 <![CDATA[Entries]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223640548m/227292.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223640548s/227292.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/227292.Entries 4.12 25 8567 4.25 6768 1069 1994 227289 086547026X 9780865470262 2 <![CDATA[Recollected Essays]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223640546m/227289.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223640546s/227289.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/227289.Recollected_Essays 4.53 19 8567 4.25 6768 1069 1981 227306 0865472904 9780865472907 2 <![CDATA[Sabbaths]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1245519753m/227306.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1245519753s/227306.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/227306.Sabbaths 4.16 19 8567 4.25 6768 1069 1987 6316356 158243543X 9781582435435 2 <![CDATA[Bringing It to the Table: Writings on Farming and Food]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255571581m/6316356.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255571581s/6316356.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6316356.Bringing_It_to_the_Table_Writings_on_Farming_and_Food 4.44 16 Only a farmer could delve so deeply into the origins of food, and only a writer of Wendell Berry’s caliber could convey it with such conviction and eloquence. Long before Whole Foods organic produce was available at your local supermarket, Berry was farming with the purity of food in mind. For the last five decades, Berry has embodied mindful eating through his land practices and his writing. In recognition of that influence, Michael Pollan here offers an introduction to this wonderful collection.

Drawn from over thirty years of work, this collection joins bestsellers The Omnivore’s Dilemma, by Pollan, and Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, by Barbara Kingsolver, as essential reading for anyone who cares about what they eat. The essays address such concerns as: How does organic measure up against locally grown? What are the differences between small and large farms, and how does that affect what you put on your dinner table? What can you do to support sustainable agriculture?

A progenitor of the Slow Food movement, Wendell Berry reminds us all to take the time to understand the basics of what we ingest. “Eating is an agriculture act,” he writes. Indeed, we are all players in the food economy.

Located in eastern Kentucky and home to 26,000 acres of untamed river, rock formations, historical sites, unusual vegetation and wildlife, the Gorge very nearly fell victim to a man-made lake thirty years ago. “No place is to be learned like a textbook,” Berry tells us, and so through revealing the Gorge’s corners and crevices, its ridges and rapids, his words not only implore us to know more but to venture there ourselves. Infused with his very personal perspective and enhanced by the startling photographs of Ralph Eugene Meatyard, The Unforeseen Wilderness draws the reader in to celebrate an extraordinary natural beauty and to better understand what threatens it.

Following the widely praised Given, this new collection offers a masterful blend of epigrams, elegies, lyrics, and letters, with the occasional short love poem. Alternately amused, outraged, and resigned, Berry’s welcome voice is the constant in this varied mix. The book concludes with a new sequence of Sabbath poems, works that have spawned from Berry’s Sunday morning walks of meditation and observation.

Berry’s themes are reflections of his life: friends, family, the farm, the nature around us as well as within. He speaks strongly for himself and sometimes for the lost heart of the country. As he has borne witness to the world for eight decades, what he offers us now in this new collection of poems is of incomparable value.</DIV>]]> 8567 4.25 6768 1069 2009 227296 0156180510 9780156180511 1 <![CDATA[Clearing]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172875690m/227296.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172875690s/227296.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/227296.Clearing 4.12 8 8567 4.25 6768 1069 1977 227309 086547172X 9780865471726 2 <![CDATA[Meeting the Expectations of the Land: Essays in Sustainable Agriculture and Stewardship]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1242700507m/227309.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1242700507s/227309.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/227309.Meeting_the_Expectations_of_the_Land_Essays_in_Sustainable_Agriculture_and_Stewardship 4.67 6 133040 4.03 58 13 8567 4.25 6768 1069 1985 227291 0813109426 9780813109428 1 <![CDATA[Harlan Hubbard: Life and Work]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172875682m/227291.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172875682s/227291.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/227291.Harlan_Hubbard_Life_and_Work 3.86 7 "Includes 20 color plates of Hubbard's own paintings, along with several photographs of Anna and Harlan Hubbard.
