Since its publication by Sierra Club Books 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 development 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.
