Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

A collection of 21 previously published essays by social critic Berry. Berry argues that the increasing urbanization of our culture and the increasing industrialization of our agriculture are two of the most dangerous trends attacking American's ability to lead authentic lives. He promotes a new vision of American agrarianism that addresses culture, economics, and religious values. His essays are accompanied by an introductory explanation of his overall thought penned by Wirzba (philosophy, Georgetown College).
