Description
"In A Love of the Land, John C. Hudson has collected thirteen of Hart's seminal essays from the last fifty years, revealing the breadth and depth of Hart's work. In these pieces, Hart meditates on the meaning of geographical study, how to read the landscape, the impact of urban encroachment and suburban sprawl, the contemporary uses of land and space, and the changes wrought on rural landscapes by the modernization of farms and the growth of industrial agriculture. Whether Hart is writing about resort areas in Wisconsin, sheep farming in the British moorlands, change in the Corn Bell, the growing presence of mobile home parks, or tobacco barns and their changing role in the United States economy, he vividly narrates the age-old story of humans and their deep ties to the land, as he deftly blends facts and analysis with engaging anecdotes of his and others' experiences."--book jacket.
