The Land Remains: A Midwestern Perspective on Our Past and Future

Neil D. Hamilton

4.9/5 (9443 ratings)

Description:Humankind enjoyed stunning population growth in the 20th and early 21st centuries, largely sustained by pioneering agricultural techniques that fed billions of people around the world. However, as Neil D. Hamilton writes in The Land Remains, a monomaniacal focus on agricultural production growth has obscured proper reverence for the conditions that make growing things possible at all.Hamilton (The Legal Guide for Direct Farm Marketing) is an agricultural lawyer, conservationist and family farmer. He combines impressive conceptual and firsthand expertise with formidable research and testimonies to argue that the United States must transform its approach to farming and land stewardship if it is to continue to reap the great bounty of its fertile land. Though haunting images in stories like John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath once imposed a proper respect for the land's weaknesses, the cultural memory of them--and the visionary leaders such traumas gave rise to--have faded. Today, far too much U.S. agricultural practice ignores techniques that are necessary to ensure that the land, and those who depend on it, can survive.Hamilton writes with serious purpose but also a joyful heart. He is deeply familiar with farming, farmers and the vast constellation of corporations, interest groups and institutions that seek to feed the world but also, in many cases, maximize their profits. While fair-minded and compassionate, his writing is unsullied with false equivocation or feeble bromides about the supposed costs of doing business. The Land Remains is sobering and, at times, frightening, but it offers the inspiration of hopeful wisdom. --Walker Minot, teacher, freelance writer and reviewerWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
