"In ALTARS OF UNHEWN STONE, Wes Jackson issues an urgent call for a new view of contemporary agricultural problems. He combines findings from scientific and practical research conducted at the Land Institute in Salina, Kansas, with a keen interpretation of pertinent literature to demonstrate the wisdom of traditional attitudes to farming, land and resource use, and the interrelations of cultural and biological communities… Calling for an agriculture that will not destroy human or biological communities, that will minimize soil erosion and reliance on chemicals and fossil fuels, that will preserve the information contained in the genetic codes of plants and animals now threatened with extinction." . Signed by the Author. Second printing. Softcover. As New condition. 158pp.

Sobre About Books
About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
