Twenty-five years before Rachel Carson published her famous work Silent Spring, Lord Northbourne coined the phrase organic farming and helped to promote the importance of a holistic approach to the environment. His work, linking spirituality and ecology, has inspired a generation of writings from Wendell Berry to HRH Prince Charles.This book not only features Northbourne's previously unpublished writings, but also his private correspondence with Thomas Merton, highlighting the spiritual depth of his writings.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. First Edition. Light wear to spine, covers and corners. ; Beautiful front- and end- free end papers, deep blue with bronze patterns. Writings by Lord Northbourne, pioneer of organic farming and an early voice in ecological thought. Blending agriculture, metaphysics and traditional religion, he argues that the environmental crisis reflects a deeper spiritual disorder. For Northbourne, the health of the soil mirrors the health of the soul: modern materialism severs humanity from sacred order, while traditional wisdom restores harmony between land, community and the divine. Rooted in the Perennial Philosophy, these essays are contemplative yet practical, offering a vision of stewardship grounded in reverence, restraint and spiritual responsibility toward the natural world. ; Octavo; 272 pages.
