Histoire
In a time when our relationship to the natural world is ruled by the violence and greed of unbridled consumerism, Wendell Berry speaks out in these prescient essays, drawn from his 50-year campaign on behalf of American lands and communities. The writings gathered in The World-Ending Fire are the unique product of a life spent farming the fields of rural Kentucky with mules and horses, and of the rich, intimate knowledge of the land cultivated by this work.

Histoire
Dirt, soil, call it what you want, it's everywhere we go. It is the root of our existence, supporting our feet, our farms, our cities. This fascinating yet disquieting book finds, however, that we are running out of dirt, and it's no laughing matter. An engaging natural and cultural history of soil that sweeps from ancient civilizations to modern times, Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations explores the compelling idea that we are, and have long been, using up Earth's soil. Once bare of protective vegetation and exposed to wind and rain, cultivated soils erode bit by bit, slowly enough to be ignored in a single lifetime but fast enough over centuries to limit the lifespan of civilizations.

Histoire
As a boy, James Rebanks's grandfather taught him to work the land the old way. Their family farm in England's Lake District hills was part of an ancient agricultural landscape: a patchwork of crops and meadows, of pastures grazed with livestock, and hedgerows teeming with wildlife. And yet, by the time James inherited the farm, it was barely recognizable. The men and women had vanished from the fields; the old stone barns had crumbled; the skies had emptied of birds and their wind-blown song.

Call it "Zen and the Art of Farming" or a "Little Green Book", Masanobu Fukuoka's manifesto about farming, eating, and the limits of human knowledge presents a radical challenge to the global systems we rely on for our food. At the same time, it is a spiritual memoir of a man whose innovative system of cultivating the earth reflects a deep faith in the wholeness and balance of the natural world. As Wendell Berry writes in his preface, the book "is valuable to us because it is at once practical and philosophical."

The restoration agriculture system described in this award-winning book works! It is possible for humans to produce staple foods using perennial agricultural ecosystems that actually improve the quality of the environment. This can be done on a backyard, farm, or ranch scale and is needed right now - on a global scale. Restoration Agriculture explains how we can have all of the benefits of natural, perennial ecosystems and create agricultural systems that imitate nature in form and function while still providing for our food, building, fuel, and many other needs.

Histoire
Have you ever desired, deep within your soul, to make a comfortable full-time living from a farming enterprise? Too often people dare not even vocalize this desire because it seems absurd. It's like thinking the unthinkable. After all, the farm population is dwindling. It takes too much capital to start. The pay is too low. The working conditions are dusty, smelly and noisy: Not the place to raise a family. This is all true, and more, for most farmers.

Histoire
Why did humans abandon hunting and gathering for sedentary communities dependent on livestock and cereal grains and governed by precursors of today's states? Most people believe that plant and animal domestication allowed humans, finally, to settle down and form agricultural villages, towns, and states, which made possible civilization, law, public order, and a presumably secure way of living. But archaeological and historical evidence challenges this narrative.

Description
Since its publication in 1977, The Unsettling of America has been recognized as a classic of American letters. In it, Wendell Berry argues that good farming is a cultural and spiritual discipline. Today’s agribusiness, however, takes farming out of its cultural context and away from families. As a result, we as a nation are more estranged from the land - from the intimate knowledge, love, and care of it.
Sadly, his arguments and observations are more relevant than ever. Although “this book has not had the happy fate of being proved wrong,” Berry writes, there are people working “to make something comely and enduring of our life on this earth.” Wendell Berry is one of those people, writing and working, as ever, with passion, eloquence, and conviction.

love the material, meh on the performance.
to start with, the material I found riveting timely and much-needed. to the degree that I have now purchased or ordered at least 16 more Wendell Berry publications books on collections. along with Joel salatin Gabe Brown Ray Archuleta and others these are topics readings and subjects with should be a part of any high School in most expecially higher education in agriculture.
As for the performance while extremely clear easy to understand I found the speakers voice at times reminiscent of a twilight zone intro which begins to grate. In particular, his consistent pronunciation of hummus (a spread made from chickpeas) as opposed to hummus (organic material in the soil, the first syllable sounding like -hu- in human rather than huh) extremely grating.

The legacy is truth
This book is as accurate in its analysis and as cogent in its arguments as it ever was.
The proof is in the news today about world health and our response to pandemic disease.
While I don’t condemn the scientist or university with as much vehemence as the author I do abhor the dishonesty that seems baked in to the culture.
This book should be in everyone’s library who enjoys eating and health.

Relevant, Poignant, Life-changing
This book was written over 40 years ago but is still strikingly relevant in it’s critique of how government policies and social attitudes are contributing to the degradation of our land and bodies. Perhaps more important however is how it paints an incredibly comprehensive and connected picture of the issues of agriculture, ecology, identity, justice, and morality. It invites the reader to consider a paradigm shift wherein all the issues listed above are actually facets of the same issue - how we relate to land.
It’s message is refreshingly non-partisan, or perhaps trans-partisan. In a era where one side is trying to fight climate change and the monopolies of big business and the other side is concerned about the dilapidation of both rural life and the country’s moral compass, Berry’s message brings striking clarity about how these things are actually two sides of the same coin.
Nick Offerman’s performance is excellent and just a little bit comical (in a good way) for fans of Parks and Recreation. Ron would like this book a lot.
Despite the fact that a few of the specific names and institutions Berry mentions indicate the book’s datedness, it’s message is so powerful that this is a book I plan to relisten to every 5 or 10 years.

A classic
Berry in the Unsettling of America was far ahead of the times with his observations and reflections.
Those writing on progressive and regenerative farming technique, permaculture and soil preservation need only look back to his words to find a voice that begged for a change in how we view the world of rural living, producing food, and raising our herds.

The narrator killed the book for me
The great Wendell Berry deserves a great narrator. Did the narrator even listen to any of Berry's presentations? I bet not.
I couldn't take the narrator's performance after listening to a few of Berry's lectures on YouTube. Berry is Southern, has a sense of humor, and a beautiful lyrical voice. I had to pull out after an hour.

Sanity in a corrupt world
Fantastic delivery by Offerman of Berry's important message. If you are frustrated with government and corporate dysfunction when it comes to the most basic necessities of life and wondering for the life of you why no one is making the ethical, ecological, and patriotic case for common sense and good stewardship, Wendell Berry just might save your sanity and there is no better, more even, or more engaging yet reassuring voice to bring this book to the restless than that of Nick Offerman.
