Subtle agriculture for a world in crisis
Masanobu Fukuoka defies western or modern agricultural techniques going down to the basics of traditional japanese life. No chemicals and no digging the land for an abundant and long term harvest. Planting with the heart. Mindfulness...
The book and Masanobu himself impressed me and I find myself following his path like that of a guru.

Thought provoking environmental classic.
If you are interested in the food you eat, the way this food is produced, or the environment please read this book. The role of modern science and economics within these topics are discussed in this book using hard facts and philosophy, in an easy to read manner. It may change the way you think. Part of the list price goes to plant trees in India to compensate for the use of pulp in this book!

Important book for humanity's future
This amazing author has clear-eyed views about how we can encourage a healthier and happier way of life for ourselves through living with nature in a more ecological way. Fascinating and interesting ideas.
