Samenvatting:

&;Apps is a man of ideas who is sensitive to the touch, the smells, and the feel of doing things by hand, today and a hundred years ago.&;&;from the foreword by Senator Gaylord Nelson

Originally published in 1970, The Land Still Lives is the first book by Wisconsin&;s greatest rural philosopher, Jerry Apps. Written when he was still a young agriculture professor at the University of Wisconsin, The Land Still Lives was readers&; first introduction to Jerry&;s farm in central Wisconsin, called Roshara, and the surrounding community of Skunk&;s Hollow. This special 50th-anniversary edition features a new epilogue, in which Jerry revisits his philosophy of caring for the land so it in turn will care for us. This is vintage Apps, essential reading for Jerry&;s legions of fans&;and for all who, like Jerry, wish &;to develop a relationship with nature and all its mystery and wonder.&;
