Book excerpt: This book provides a journey from man's earliest attempts to harness the land through all the myriads of developments in crop husbandry and innovations which have shaped the way modern systems of crop production are carried out and which have shaped much of our landscape today. Peter Thoday confirms the view that "in spite of all our civil engineering and large-scale industrial works the farmer remains the person that has by far the greatest impact on the landscape". The journey takes us from man's first attempts to domesticate plants and grow them for food, through gradual improvements in cultivation techniques and increasing use of implements that have enabled crops to be grown more effectively and efficiently. The book shows us how these developments have led ultimately to the intensive methods that we use today and how these could change in the future.

Book excerpt: Märit Laurens is a young woman of British descent who comes to live with her husband, Ben, on their newly purchased farm along the border of South Africa. Shortly after her arrival, violence strikes at the heart of Märit's world. Devastated and confused but determined to run the farm on her own, Märit finds herself in a simmering tug of war between the local Afrikaner community and the black workers who live on the farm, both vying for control over the land in the wake of tragedy. Märit's only supporter is her black housekeeper, Tembi, who, like Märit, is alone in the world. Together, the women struggle to hold on to the farm, but the quietly encroaching civil war brings out conflicting loyalties that turn the fight for the farm into a fight for their lives. Thrilling to read, A Blade of Grass is a wrenching story of friendship and betrayal and of the trauma of the land that has shaped post-colonial Africa.

Download or read book Blades of Grass written by Lao She and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1999-10-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If you want to write good short stories," Lao She once observed, "you have to give it everything you’ve got. The world will allow the existence of a very imperfect novel, but it won’t be that polite with a short story. Art, after all, is not like a pig—the fatter the better." Lao She’s stories proved to be very good indeed, moving and delighting readers for many years and establishing him as a master of classic modern fiction. Thankfully we now have access to a rich collection of his short stories in superb English translations. These stories showcase the varied facets of Lao She’s impressive talent and draw us effortlessly into his world-and we emerge the better for it. This is a writer eternally immersed in and fascinated by the kaleidoscope of humankind. The stories are characterized by humor and by intensely sympathetic explorations of human relationships. Some of them are unsettling. Many are poignant. Most of them make us laugh. All evoke the color and energy of life, for Lao She is also a connoisseur of the everyday with a keen appreciation of the concrete detail. A plate of steaming dumplings, the gleam of gold-capped front teeth, rickshaws dragging along alleys, punishing winter winds, rolls of bright silk, a pair of chopsticks—these things are the stuff of Lao She’s fiction and the essence of his metaphors, and he cherishes such little details of life more than the abstractions of politics or philosophy.
