4.9/5 (25122 ratings)

Description:This second volume in the Library of America edition of Wendell Berry’s essays presents writings from the latter half of his career, including the entirety of Life Is a Miracle (2000) and forty-two essays from nine other books published from 1993 to 2017: Sex, Economy, Freedom & Community (1993), Another Turn of the Crank (1995), Citizenship Papers (2003), The Way of Ignorance (2005), What Matters? (2010), Imagination in Place (2010), It All Turns on Affection (2012), Our Only World (2015), and The Art of Loading Brush (2017).In Life Is a Miracle, written in response to E. O. Wilson’s best-selling 1998 book, Consilience, Berry argues that science and the modern, profit-driven industrial and technological regime cannot provide answers to all of our challenges. Instead, “we must learn to think about propriety in scale and design, as determined by human and ecological health. By such changes we might again make our work an answer to despair.” Among the influential and still-provocative essays included in this volume are “In Distrust of Movements,” “Conservationist and Agrarian,” “Secrecy vs. Rights,” “Faustian Economics,” “Imagination in Place,” and his inspiring 2012 Jefferson lecture, “It All Turns on Affection.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
