Trained as a scientist, Fukuoka rejected both modern agribusiness and centuries of agricultural practice, deciding instead that the best forms of cultivation mirror nature’s own laws. It is an inspiring, necessary book about agriculture because it is not just about agriculture.” As Wendell Berry writes in his preface, the book “is valuable to us because it is at once practical and philosophical. At the same time, it is a spiritual memoir of a man whose innovative system of cultivating the earth reflects a deep faith in the wholeness and balance of the natural world. Call it “Zen and the Art of Farming” or a “Little Green Book,” Masanobu Fukuoka’s manifesto about farming, eating, and the limits of human knowledge presents a radical challenge to the global systems we rely on for our food.

The characters bounce off one another quite well and the resolution was fantastic because as all mysteries go, it’s not some much about the actual case as it is about the individuals attempting to solve the case.

The Tea Master and the Detective by Aliette de Bodard (Subterranean) 4 out of 5 I am happy that both Creeper and the Captain were able to have completed arcs by the end.įor sure going to keep an eye on Clark moving forward and I may even hunt for some of his short fiction.

Thus, I found myself downloading the audiobook of Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. There was one woman on that list whose works I had not read before, and so I decided to seek her out.
