Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"[Logsdon] is merciless in his precision-bombing of the colleges of agriculture, mere 'havens for golf-turf science' and for the waste of soil through heavy machinery, toxic chemicals, and erosion. The closing essays are nice appreciations of woodcutters' pleasures and of viewing the acres..., a sturdy blast for the rural life. Good reading."
Kirkus, 01/15/1993

Living at Nature's Pace: Farming and the American Dream (Paperback) (ISBN: 9781890132569) Logsdon, Gene Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: Chelsea Green Publishing Co, United States, 2000. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Rev ed. 203 x 134 mm. Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.For decades, Logsdon and his family have run a viable family farm. Along the way, he has become a widely influential journalist and social critic, documenting in hundreds of essays for national and regional magazines the crisis in conventional agri-business and the boundless potential for new forms of farming that reconcile tradition with ecology.Logsdon reminds us that healthy and economical agriculture must work "at nature's pace," instead of trying to impose an industrial order on the natural world. Foreseeing a future with "more farmers, not fewer," he looks for workable models among the Amish, among his lifelong neighbors in Ohio, and among resourceful urban gardeners and a new generation of defiantly unorthodox organic growers creating an innovative farmers-market economy in every region of the country."To love farming--real farming--in this day and time requires what a lot of people like to call crankiness but is in fact courage. . . . I have been reading Gene Logsdon for many years, and I have always taken courage from him. I thank him, and I shake his hand."--Wendell BerryNature knows how to grow plants and raise animals; it is human beings who are in danger of losing this age-old expertise, substituting chemical additives and artificial technologies for the traditional virtues of fertility, artistry, and knowledge of natural processes. This new edition of Logsdon's important collection of essays and articles (first published by Pantheon in 1993) contains six new chapters taking stock of American farm life at this turn of the century.
