"Martusewicz’s celebrations of Wendell Berry in this book offer us priceless gifts and essential insights for healing all the damages of our destructive era.

"This book is long overdue. Berry is one of the ‘greats’; his writings still reverberate throughout all fields of education. This book contextualizes Berry’s writings in contemporary yet unsustainable times."

"This volume invites educators into a conversation with the work of Wendell Berry, one of America’s most revered writers on the themes of environment, culture, community, place, and what it means to be responsibly alive in the world. With careful attention to Berry’s novels, essays, and poems, Martusewicz shows how Berry’s work can inspire us to re-imagine our place in the world and to inhabit our roles as educators more responsibly."
