Sinopsis

In "The Farm That Won't Wear Out," Cyril G. Hopkins intricately weaves agrarian philosophy with practical agricultural techniques, advocating for sustainable farming practices well ahead of its time. This seminal work, published during the early 20th century, employs a rich narrative style that combines scientific research with personal anecdote, allowing readers to grasp complex concepts in soil management and crop rotation. Through engaging prose, Hopkins addresses the ecological ramifications of farming practices and emphasizes the importance of nurturing farmland to ensure its longevity, providing a compelling critique of industrial agriculture. Cyril G. Hopkins, a prominent agronomist and educator, was deeply influenced by his experiences in the development of agricultural education at the University of Illinois. His prosperous career, marked by a dedication to advancing agronomic science, shaped his conviction that sustainable practices could significantly improve farming efficiency and environmental stewardship. Hopkins's firsthand experiences with farmers and dedication to patenting innovative farming methods grounded his arguments in real-world application, making his insights particularly relevant and resonant. Readers seeking to deepen their understanding of agriculture's relationship with the environment will find "The Farm That Won't Wear Out" an essential and enlightening read. Not merely a manual for farmers, this book serves as a philosophical treatise urging a reevaluation of our agricultural practices. Hopkins's forward-thinking approach eloquently argues for a path toward sustainability that remains relevant in today's ecological discussions.

    The Gwent Levels line the north shore of the Severn Estuary in South Wales: Chepstow at their head; their more famous cousin, the Somerset Levels, across the water; the Welsh capital, Cardiff at their feet. You could waste an hour crossing the Levels by motorway. Or brush aside the journey by train. But writer Marsha O'Mahony has chosen the slow route of foreshore, footpath, and country lane. Over the course of two years, she meandered from village to village collecting conversations and anecdotes as she went. The result is a remarkable oral and social history of this unique landscape and the people who live there.

    What are the politics of nature? Who owns it, where is it, what role does it play in our lives? Does it need to be tamed? Are we ourselves natural? In A Darker Wilderness, a constellation of luminary writers reflect on the significance of nature in their lived experience and on the role of nature in the lives of Black folks in the United States. Each of these essays engages with a single archival object, whether directly or obliquely, exploring stories spanning hundreds of years and thousands of miles, traveling from roots to space and finding rich Blackness everywhere. 
     
     
     
    Erin Sharkey considers Benjamin Banneker's 1795 almanac, as she follows the passing of seasons in an urban garden in Buffalo. Naima Penniman reflects on a statue of Haitian revolutionary François Makandal, within her own pursuit of environmental justice. Ama Codjoe meditates on rain, hair, protest, and freedom via a photo of a woman during a civil rights demonstration in Alabama. And so on with wide-ranging contributions unearthing evidence of the ways Black people's relationship to the natural world has persevered through colonialism, slavery, violence, and structurally racist policies. 
     
     
     
    A scrapbook, a family chest, a quilt—a work of historical engagement and literary accomplishment—A Darker Wilderness is a collection brimming with abundance and insight.
