rated it: 
This is a terrific book. Its ostensible subject is the imporvement movements that took place in the early to mid-nineteenth century as farmers came to realize that their practices were destroying soil fertility. But while the book is a splendid evocation of that era, Stoll is also unafraid to draw parallels to today's situation, which makes this truly a book with a powerful and relevant message.
