The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.
Library OF America is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation\'s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America\'s best and most significant writing.
Berry\'s Essays remain timely, even urgent today, and will resonate with anyone interested in our relationship to the natural world and especially with a younger, politically engaged generation invested in the future welfare of the planet.
Throughout he demonstrates that our existence is always connected to the land, and that even in a modern global economy local farming is essential to the flourishing of our culture, to healthy living and stable communities, and indeed to the continuing survival of the human species.
Here in full are such landmark books as The Unsettling of America and Life Is a Miracle , along with generous selections from more than a dozen other volumes, revealing as never before the evolution of Berry\'s thoughts and concerns as a farmer, neighbor, citizen, teacher, activist, and ecological philosopher.
Now, in celebration of Berry\'s extraordinary six-decade-long career, Library of America presents a two-volume Boxed set edition of his nonfiction writings prepared in close consultation with the author.
He is our most important writer on the cultural crisis posed by industrialization and mass consumerism, and the vital role of rural, sustainable farming in preserving the planet as well as our national character.
Writing with elegance and clarity, Wendell Berry is a compassionate and compelling voice for our time of political and cultural distrust and division, whether expounding the joys and wisdom of nonindustrial agriculture, relishing the pleasure of eating food produced locally by people you know, or giving voice to a righteous contempt for hollow technological innovation.
