Fresh and farranging, Zachary Michael Jack's commentaries illuminate a paradox: how, as the population living on the land plummets, the popularity of agrarianism rises anew. From buying organic to shopping local; from homesteading to homeschooling to homegrowing and slowfooding; from DIYing to grassroots social justice to sustainable living and populist resistance, today's society resurrects and reenacts timeless agricultural values. Country Views champions the wellgrounded perspective at a time ripe for resowing our democracy, cautioning against the clear and present dangers facing an uprooted people. These clarion essays show how citizens and cultural critics draw strength from a philosophy that has long served those who love the land. Country Views reminds that no matter where we hang our hat, when we cultivate virtue and conscience we are all agrarians doing yeoman's work.Find out why Jeff Kaufmann, Former Speaker Pro Tem, Iowa House of Representatives, Professor of History, Muscatine Community College said: 'After reading Country Views, I felt like someone had remembered me. The commentaries are a delightful mix of sentimental journeys, statistical analysis, and rural policy issues relevant for any legislator to ponder.'Additionally, ''Zachary Michael Jack has given us more of his witty, insightful commentaries in his newest book. Jack offers a unique perspective on the lighter side of complex agrarian issues, addressing everything from barnyard English to rural ghouls. I highly recommend Country Views.'' Dana Hoag, Professor of Agricultural Economics, Colorado State University
