ITEM OVERVIEW
"Before I had read this book, I would have hesitated to suggest that one's relationship to the land, to consumption and food, is a religious matter. But it's true; the decision to attend to the health of one's habitat and food chain is a spiritual choice. It's also a political choice, a scientific one, a personal and convivial one." —Barbara Kingsolver, from the Introduction
"In this collection of eminently quotable and passionately argued essays, farmers, philosophers, scientists, and environmentalists look at the way in which industrial agriculture, unchecked consumerism, and the squandering of natural resources have caused great harm... Highly recommended." —Library Journal
