The insistent theme of this book is the interdependence, the wholeness, the oneness of people, land, weather, animals, and family. To touch one is to tamper with them all. We live in one functioning organism whose separate parts are artificially isolated by our culture. Here, Berry develops the compelling argument that the \"gift\" of good land has strings attached. We have it only on loan and only for as long as we practice good stewardship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWendell Berry\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of fifty books of poetry, fiction, and essays.
