"The awareness that farming cannot be considered as an issue separate from the larger culture rules out the easy answer. Berry does examine some creative options and possibilities in how other agricultural societies work with the land, and discusses some contemporary marginal approaches: homesteading, farm co-ops, alternative technologies, peasant agriculture. His conclusions will be controversial: his ideas are profoundly conservative on one hand and fiercely radical on the other. But this is above all a book that will change minds, a work of passion, eloquence, and conviction." (Jacket blurb). About fine: Trifling rub to lower extremes, minor cracking to upper gutter paper. In about fine price-clipped dust jacket First edition. SIGNED by the author on the title page and dated 7/23/94. Seller Inventory # 24004
