Resumen de la editorial
Granddaughter to Rodale's founder, and its current CEO, the author offers a passionate, evenhanded, nonacademic argument for the overall wisdom (economical and ecological) for farming organic. Deeply aware of the public confusion and suspicion surrounding organic farming as a "hippie" cause, Rodale first persuades readers that years of chemical and pesticide use have poisoned our environment-- Publisher's Weekly, May 2010 Leer más

Maria Rodale is VERY passionate when it comes to organic food & farming. I wish everyone on this planet would read her book and change the status quo. I had no idea how complicated and detrimental the Farm Bill has become! I did know, however, how powerful and insidious the chemical companies are, but I didn't realize the full extent of their greed and control. YIKES. Thank goodness for "Part 3: The Age of Healing," or I might never sleep again.
I HIGHLY recommend this <a onclick="Element.show('freeTextreview117809691'); Element.hide('freeTextContainerreview117809691'); return false;" href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8617939#">...more</a> Maria Rodale is VERY passionate when it comes to organic food & farming.

I HIGHLY recommend this book. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that I can see how some people might be put off by Rodale's sometimes-strident tone, and once in a while it felt a little repetitive, but perhaps that's because not everything was news to me.
Not sure how to categorize it for Reader's Advisors. Story doorway??
