pearseanderson's review against another edition
3.0
A hard book to rate, because Kirschenmann covers so much ground and so many years. His material ranges from more intro-ENVS to the ultra-specific, like if to castrate pigs when they are sedated. I really wanted more of the latter, partially because those kinds of stories make me want to learn more, rather than the less specific "we can fix the system" message than many environmentalists shout that isn't very motivating. Overall, I could tell Kirschenmann was a really smart dude with a lot of smart things to say, about other people, farming, and life in general.
Connections: Kirschenmann is the president of the Stone Barns Center, which I volunteered for in the summer of 2016. I got a signed copy!
