This was a life changing book for me. It opened my eyes to the concept of land stewardship and sustainable agriculture which led me to significant decisions in my life.

Nonfiction, as per the blurb, "A collection of essays examines agricultural techniques designed to meet the needs of the people without depleting the land."

Though some of the facts are outdated [worse now], this is a compelling argument of how corporatizing is severally diminishing our well being, seen even better now in hindsight.

Only read the Wendell Berry chapter...enlightening as ever.
