Country Views: The Essential Agrarian Commentaries of Zachary Michael Jack (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781948509169)

Fresh and far-ranging, Zachary Michael Jack's commentaries illuminate a paradox: how, as the population living on the land plummets, the popularity of agrarianism rises anew. From buying organic to shopping local; from homesteading to homeschooling to homegrowing and slow-fooding; from DIYing to grassroots social justice to sustainable living and populist resistance, today's society resurrects and reenacts timeless agricultural values. Country Views champions the well-grounded perspective at a time ripe for re-sowing our democracy, cautioning against the clear and present dangers facing an uprooted people. These clarion essays show how citizens and cultural critics draw strength from a philosophy that has long served those who love the land. Country Views reminds that no matter where we hang our hat, when we cultivate virtue and conscience we are all agrarians doing yeoman's work.
