Publisher's Synopsis
The Holy Earth is a non-fiction book written by Liberty Hyde Bailey and originally published in 1915. The book explores the idea of the earth as a sacred entity and argues for a new approach to agriculture that is based on a spiritual connection to the land. Bailey was a renowned botanist and horticulturist who believed that the industrialization of agriculture was damaging to both the earth and human society. In The Holy Earth, he advocates for a return to small-scale, sustainable farming practices that prioritize the health of the soil and the well-being of the community. The book also touches on themes of religion, philosophy, and social justice, and is considered a seminal work in the history of environmentalism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
