The earth is good, Liberty Hyde Bailey writes, and people are its keepers, not its plunderers. In short, luminous meditations he argues for a caring relationship with the land and against the habit of destruction. An early and eloquent voice for conservation and responsible farming. A quiet, powerful call to tend the ground with care.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
