Product Description

Review

"* 'A blend of clear-eyed science and poetic eloquence. To say that this is essential reading is rather like saying that a compass is essential to navigation' David Orr, author of Design on the Edge and The Last Refuge * 'An exemplary blending of passion and rigour. Absolute where it needs to be, always subtle, and often beautiful, and ranging exceptionally widely within space, and deeply within time, it could only have been written by someone with Pretty's expertises, both of library and of the field' Robert Macfarlane, author of Mountains of the Mind * 'Beautifully written... both a celebration and a warning... with its lucid memory of hard facts and its showing how good it is to be alive among the creatures and plants' Ronald Blythe, author of The Age of Illusion and A Year at Bottengoms Farm * 'A very powerful and very compelling book' Bill McKibbon, author of The End of Nature"


Ronald Blythe, author of Akenfield

Jules Pretty's remarkable new book is both universal and parochial
by turn, and beautifully written.

5.0 out of 5 stars good piece of writing for the lay man by an academic, 14 Aug 2007
By Mr. J. Horsfall (sheffield, uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is very well researched and thought through as you might expect from a respected scholar on sustainable agriculture. It is, I'm glad to say, very easy to read and not academic in style. It is a collection of essays that can be read independently, but they are well ordered and complentary so reading from cover to cover is easily done! This is a very informative read about agriculture, but it also covers issues like humanity's place in nature and is full of the character of the author.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Stunning, Creative & Positive, Superbly Written Book offering Hope for our Troubled Times!, 1 April 2009
By Chris "Reactiv8" (Horrorfordshire) - See all my reviews
Professor Pretty's seminal book is a must for anyone looking for a 'chink of light' above in the pit we've currently dug ourselves into ... I found it in my local library, but it is so good that I've just ordered it for my Mum's Birthday!

Buy it NOW - Every home should have one!
