Connecting with the earth is very important to me. -Nicole Richie, VogueWendell Berry is Kentucky's gift to the literary world. -The Courier-Journal (Louisville), 1 of Louisville's 10 Best Reads for the Bookworm in Your LifeProduct DescriptionFirst published in 1972, Think Little is cultural critic and agrarian Wendell Berry at his best: prescient about the dire environmental consequences of our mentality of greed and exploitation, yet hopeful that we will recognize war and oppression and pollution not as separate issues, but aspects of the same. Think Little is presented here alongside one of Berrys most popular and personal essays, A Native Hill. This gentle essay of recollection is told alongside a poetic lesson in geography, as Berry explains at length and in detail, that what he stands for is what he stands on.Each palm-size book in the Counterpoints series is meant to stay with you, whether safely in your pocket or long after you turn the last page.
