About this title: In a ringing cry for a changed relation to the land, Jackson urges modern Americans to become truly native to this place--to base our culture and agriculture on nature's principles, to recycle as natural ecosystems have for millions of years.

Description: Very Good. Ideas seem to advance in waves upon the modern mind, and one of the concepts cresting at present is the notion of place. This recent swell could be charted back to Daniel Kemmis's 1992 book Community and the Politics of Place as well as his more recent meditation on the inhabitation of cities (The Good City and the Good Life). Wendell Berry's A Place on Earth continued the theme, as has Alan Thein Durning's recent book This Place on Earth. Wes Jackson, a bioligist by training, ... read more

"There was a lot to reflect on in this book, though I think I would need to read it at least once more before seeing how all of the pieces fit together. It's difficult to see exactly what Jackson means by 'becoming native to this place' and how we are to carry it out. That's worth talking about, though. The writing itself is at times slow-going and at times riveting."
"This book is so white privileged and ignorant. Wes Jackson acts as though agricultural technique can erase the impact of centuries of Western Civilization. He poses the idea that a white farmer was treated as badly as a native person by colonialism. I wish I could reclaim the five hours of my life that I spent reading this."
