    This is a Hopeful Book

    by Woody Wodraska
    Author, Deep Gardening

    "This is a hopeful book. It must have been a major temptation for Steven McFadden to detail the "ain't it awful" aspects of agriculture as practiced and promoted by BigPharma and BigChem corporations intent on tampering with life processes and selling their anti-life products-but he has resisted all that in favor of presenting the good news, the innovative measures farmers and eaters have devised for nurturing soil and bringing healthy, local food to the table. Family dinner tables, school lunch tables, upscale restaurant tables.

    "The author has been a keen observer-participant of the agricultural scene for more than 30 years and has witnessed first hand this revolution: those who grow and consume food are speedily awakening to the perils of industrialization of food production and finding new ways to make today's backyard Victory Garden a triumphant response to corporate despotism, to make "food with the farmer's face on it" the norm. With his research and interviews McFadden presents hundreds of new ideas and resources from citizen groups, individuals, government agencies, educational institutions and his own experience-all sound and all hopeful. "

    REVIEW FROM LARRY DOSSEY, M.D.
    Best-selling author of "The Power of Premonitions," "Healing Words," and many other books.

    Steven's book is just terrific. I grew up agrarian, on a small farm in central Texas. I still have dirt under my nails and am proud of it. We grew our own food, a practice I still follow...

    "Our links to the land go deep; they are primordial, archetypal, and innate, and we ignore them at our peril. In The Call of the Land Steven McFadden explores these connections and how we can restore them at a time in history when they have become dangerously tenuous.

    "If you have ever felt the urge to plant a seed or tend a garden, or heard the veggies whispering to you as you pass them in the supermarket aisle, you will love this book. McFadden is dealing with sacred science, the sort of wisdom we require for our survival."
