Illustrated with black & white photographs and drawings. Dust jacket with moderate wear. Clean, tight copy. Hill shepherds are the unsung heroes of British rural life. As indispensable to the nation's economy as the flocks they tend, these tough, gifted men and women deserve our recognition and gratitude.

Originator of the idea for a Shepherd of the Year award, he now describes the life of a typical hill shepherd, including the daily round, seasonal changes, home life, hobbies and events.

Hardcover. Lawrence KS, University Press of Kansas, 1st, 2021, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. In more than four decades as president of The Land Institute, Wes Jackson became widely known as one of the founders of the sustainable agriculture movement for his work on perennial grains and Natural Systems Agriculture. But Jackson's contribution to contemporary intellectual and political life goes well beyond plant breeding. Ever since he created one of the first university environmental studies programs in the early 1970s, Jackson has been exploring the human predicaments around sustainability and justice, asking questions that pull not only on agriculture and ecology but also on politics, economics, and culture. That work has appeared in four sole-authored books by Jackson, but nowhere is there an accessible summary of his key ideas. Robert Jensen provides a short, elegant introduction to Jackson's ideas on ways to provide humanity with a truly sustainable foundation in grain agriculture, presented in a way that connects to the growing concern about climate change and other ecological crises. Clean copy.
