Life is a Miracle: An Essay Against Modern Superstition Wendell Berry

Poet, theologian, and gentleman farmer Wendell Berry takes on what Gandhi called "science without humanity" in his most recent booklength essay. In the liberation mode we have come to expect in Berry's writing, he proposes a new Emancipation Proclamation to free human life from the increasingly corporate sensibilities of science. Lest you think these mighty philosophies are a little too over-your-head, fear not. Berry's moral imagination is rooted as ever in the bend in the river, the four wood ducks outside his window, and the patch of snow slowly melting. Life is a Miracle may be a necessary handbook for the 21st century. (Counterpoint Press)
