‘The Call of the Land’ to be published October 4

I am pleased to announce that my new book, The Call of the Land: An Agrarian Primer for the 21st Century, will be published on Sunday, October 4, 2009. Readers and bookstores will be able to learn more about, and to purchase copies of the book here.

The Call of the Land is a concise sourcebook — a primer — exploring dozens of positive pathways for food security, economic stability, environmental health, and cultural renewal. I wrote it over the last two years in direct response to the challenges before us.
