The Environmental Book Club is starting a new book at the beginning of Spring quarter: ‘The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture’ by Wendell Berry, the “cultural and economic critic, and farmer” (wiki). It was written following the infamous declaration of ‘get big or get out’ in US agricultural policy. But to what degree has the decline of Agriculture and the rise of “agri-business” been a corollary of American rural culture’s decline?

 

Here’s a doodle poll for next quarter so we hit the ground running, check out the book.

The Book Club’s goal is to stimulate additional thought on the environmental ideas available in literature, and to be able to articulate that understanding in environmental studies.
