      abstract = {Writing with elegance and clarity, Wendell Berry is a  compassionate and compelling voice for our time of  political and cultural distrust and division, whether  expounding the joys and wisdom of nonindustrial  agriculture, relishing the pleasure of eating food produced  locally by people you know, or giving voice to a righteous  contempt for hollow innovation. He is our most important  writer on the cultural crisis posed by industrialization  and mass consumerism, and the vital role of rural,  sustainable farming in preserving the planet as well as our  national character. Now, in celebration of Berry's  extraordinary six-decade-long career, Library of America  presents a two-volume selection of his nonfiction writings  prepared in close consultation with the author. In this  second volume, forty-four essays from ten works turn to  issues of political and social debate--big government,  science and religion, and the meaning of citizenship  following the tragedy of 9/11. Also included is his  Jefferson Lecture to the National Endowment for the  Humanities, "It All Turns on Affection" (2012). Berry's  essays remain timely, even urgent today, and will resonate  with anyone interested in our relationship to the natural  world and especially with a younger, politically engaged  generation invested in the future welfare of the planet.},
