Book Review: Practical Stewardship
Summary: 5 Stars
This little book furnishes a practical agriculural roadmap for moving away from a deceptive global ethos of entitlement, greed, impractical resource depletion and unsuportable infrastructure. Those who read this tiny volume take the first step toward a real stewardship ethic which must surely replace today's attitudes, lest Western Civilization--or even humanity--perish.
