L. H. Bailey, a proponent of environmental stewardship, reflected on society's disconnect with its own earth at the turn of the twentieth century. Progressive and provocative, Bailey's seminal 1915 work calls on the individual to recognize the divine in the common land we occupy. The MSU Press is pleased to reintroduce this timeless work in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of his birth and the 70th anniversary of the Liberty Hyde Bailey Museum.

About the Author:
Review:
L. H. Bailey —a gifted teacher, administrator, scientist, author, public servant, poet, and philosopher—is known as the Father of American Horticulture.His lectures and writings encouraged the application of science in horticulture and were influential in initial efforts to protect the environment.
A voice of humility and restraint in our dealings with the natural world, Bailey reminds us that adaptation, not domination, is the measure of human progress . . . In promoting an ethic of stewardship that weaves together a regard for nature with a sense of social responsibility and duty to the future, Bailey reminds us, like Aldo Leopold and Rachel Carson would after him, that the fates of nature and humans are ultimately bound together. . . . Bailey's words will shine like a beacon for those seeking to articulate a compelling ethical and civic vision of sustainability in the twenty-first century. -- Ben A. Minteer
