Berry, Wendell. The Unsettling of America: Culture and Agriculture.  San Francisco: Sierra Club Books, 1977.

Abstract

The Unsettling of America is Wendell Berry's probing and personal inquiry into the way in which we use the land that sustains us, and an expression of profound awareness that farming cannot be considered separately from the larger culture. His provocative suggestions for change are by turns conservative and fiercely radical. Often controversial but always passionate and eloquent, here is a book that gathers urgency for today's troubled society.
