Island Press, 1991 Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine, bright pages. 265 pages. NO writing, marks or tears. Richard Critchfield, author of the best-selling books Villages and An American Looks at Britain, examines the inescapable link between the decline of America's rural roots and the decay of our cities. Trees, Why Do You Wait? is a moving oral history chronicling the changes taking place in rural America. Through it, we meet real people of the heartland and feel the suffering and the strength in their relationship to the land. Library Journal This is a distressing study of the decline of two small farming communities in Iowa and North Dakota by the author of Villages (LJ 5/15/81). In the first chapter, Critchfield discusses the development and decline of rural societies around the world. He then features interviews with prosperous, semi-prosperous, and poor farmers from the two communities who provide important insights into the sociological and economic forces that contributed to the decline of farming in their areas. Critchfield asserts that the survival of the urban sector is dependent upon a thriving rural sector, and he presents proposals for saving family farms and rural communities from prominent people in agriculture. Like Janet Fitchen in Endangered Spaces, Endangered Places ( LJ 3/1/91), Critchfield offers a disturbing look at America's rural infrastructure. Trade Paperback.

Free Pr, 1990 A photo of this book is available. Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine, clean pages. NO writing, marks or tears. 206 pages. Printing number: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. Synopsis Between 1940 and the mid 1980s, farm production expenses in America's Heartland tripled, capital purchases quadrupled, interest payments jumped tenfold, profits fell 10 percent, the number of farmers decreased by two-thirds, and nearly every farming community lost population, businesses, and economic stability. Growth for these desperate communities has come to mean low-paying part-time jobs, expensive tax concessions, waste dumps, and industrial hog farming, all of which come with environmental and psychological price tags. In Broken Heartland, Osha Gray Davidson chronicles the decline of the Heartland and its transformation into a bitterly divided and isolated regional ghetto. Through interviews with more than two hundred farmers, social workers, government officials, and scholars, he puts a human face on the farm crisis of the 1980s. In this expanded edition, Davidson emphasizes the tenacious power of far-right-wing groups; his chapter on these burgeoning rural organizations in the original edition of Broken Heartland was the first in-depth look - six years before the Oklahoma City bombing - at the politics of hate they nurture. He also spotlights NAFTA, hog lots, sustainable agriculture, and the other battles and changes over the past six years in rural America. . Hard Cover.

Synopsis Howard Lyman's testimony on The Oprah Winfrey Show revealed the deadly impact of the livestock industry on our well-being. It not only led to Oprah's declaration that she'd never eat a burger again, it sent shock waves through a concerned and vulnerable public. A fourth-generation Montana rancher, Lyman investigated the use of chemicals in agriculture after developing a spinal tumor that nearly paralyzed him. Now a vegetarian, he blasts through the propaganda of beef and dairy interests -- and the government agencies that protect them -- to expose an animal-based diet as the primary cause of cancer, heart disease, and obesity in this country. He warns that the livestock industry is repeating the mistakes that led to Mad Cow disease in England while simultaneously causing serious damage to the environment. Persuasive, straightforward, and full of the down-home good humor and optimism of a son of the soil, Mad Cowboy is both an inspirational story of personal transformation and a convincing call to action for a plant-based diet -- for the good of the planet and the health of us all. Biography Howard F. Lyman is the President of Earthsave International and former Director of the Eating with Conscience Campaign and President of the International Vegetarian Union. He lives in Alexandria, Virginia. . Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information

NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 152 pages. Illustrated with photos. Synopsis Women may not fit the common image of a rancher, but on the range and in the ranch office women are at home. With their parents, children, or spouses - or alone - women own, manage, and do the daily work of ranching, as they have since pioneer days. Increasingly, they also fill the productive roles of the highly technological industry growing up around beef cattle. Women of the Range describes the roles of women in the Texas cattle industry of the past, the present, and the likely future. Based on a decade of interviews, observation, and data analysis, Elizabeth Maret, a sociologist and rancher, tells the story of the women who serve as an often unpaid labor force in this classic American enterprise. Through profiles of typical (and some atypical) women, with photographs she took of them at work, Maret shows how women serve not only as "keepers of the land," but also as a force for modernization in the cattle industry. The women she shows include a cattle fitter, sale barn manager, and herd health veterinarian. They are owners and managers of historic family ranches. They write computer software for planning optimal crossbreeding operations, they run equipment in artificial insemination companies, and they encourage industry emphasis on nutrition and consumer interests. Women have always been there, Maret shows, participating in ranching and the cattle industry as silent but active partners. Maret's portrait of their involvement and analysis of its significance will fascinate readers with an interest in ranching, social history, women's studies, and the sociology of work. .

NO writing, marks or tears inside book. - In this book, Paul Raeburn, an award-winning science writer, gives us an eye-opening account of how the genetic manipulation of American crops threatens our food supply - and what we must do to try to avert this disaster. As consumers, we want our produce large, attractive, and unblemished. The problem, as Raeburn tells us in this harrowing tale, is that we are getting exactly what we want. But there is a price to pay that goes beyond what most of us can imagine. To accommodate our desires, our crops are being genetically altered to produce perfectly uniform, unmarred fruits, vegetables, and grains. This uniformity poses a serious threat to American agriculture - a danger that became evident as early as 1970, when 15 percent of our corn crop was wiped out by a fungus that thrived because of the corn's genetic uniformity. New threats to our environment - global warming, depletion of the ozone layer, polluted air - also endanger our crops. As the environment deteriorates, plant breeders are losing the means to adapt. The agricultural gene pool is being drained dry. The tropical and sub tropical areas where wild-crop relatives can be harvested are rapidly shrinking. And scientifically priceless crop varieties developed by peasant farmers over thousands of years are becoming extinct as the Third World discards them in favor of modern commercial crops. The Last Harvest is the first book to explore this important issue. Raeburn alerts us to the full scope of the problem and describes the scientific race to collect the seeds of traditional and wild-crop varieties that may be our only hope of averting catastrophe..

New York, NY, U.S.A.: Simon & Schuster, 1989 Rhodes brings empathy and intelligence to his subject, and he projects for the reader that continuing identification with the day-to-day complexities, disappointments, and gratifications encountered by the Bauers. . . . [His] chronicle is unvarnished, his vision acute."-Maxine Kumin, New York Times Book Review. "I have never read a better description of what it's like to live and work on a Midwestern farm."-Christian Science Monitor. Richly textured and deeply moving, Farm chronicles a year in the life of Tom and Sally Bauer of Crevecoeur County, Missouri, who cultivate nearly two square miles of the surface of the earth. They struggle to build up their farm, harvesting corn, birthing calves, planting wheat, coping with the vagaries of nature and government regulations. Required of them are ancient skills (an attunement to the weather, animals, crops, and land) as well as a mastery of modern technology, from high-tech machinery to genetics and sophisticated chemicals. "Reading about the Bauers makes one better appreciate the role the farm has played, and still plays, in the shaping of our national character."-National Review. Richard Rhodes spent nearly a year on the Bauers' farm, observing the duties and drama of the changing seasons. He is the author of The Making of the Atomic Bomb, which won the Pulitzer Prize for history in 1988 and, most recently, of Deadly Feasts: Tracking the Secrets of a Terrifying New Plague. .
