Download or read book The Karma Farmers written by Pierre Hollins and published by Unbound Publishing. This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A genre-defying novel about love, murder and quantum theory. A crime thriller based upon a philosophical conundrum: if science demonstrated that consciousness could survive death, how far would you go to discover if it was true? In an age of divisive belief systems, Bradley Holmeson a thirty-something bookshop manager, is attempting to cure his existential dilemma with quantum physics. Research leads him to a radical theory of consciousness based on the work of real-life theoretical physicist David Bohm, which Holmeson self-publishes in a short, seditious manifesto. He doesn’t want revolution so much as literary notoriety, hoping that success will impress his estranged girlfriend. However, his writing begins to attract the wrong attention... A reluctant philosopher embroiled in an occult experiment, Holmeson meets the violent, the obsessed and the dangerously misguided, armed only with his defensive sarcasm – and all to win back the woman he loves.

Download or read book Wisdom of the Last Farmer written by David Mas Masumoto and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was when David Mas Masumoto's father had a stroke on the sprawling fields of their farm that the son looked with new eyes on the land where he and generations of his family have toiled for decades. Masumoto -- an organic farmer working the land in California's Central Valley -- farms stories as he farms peaches. In Wisdom of the Last Farmer, an impassioned memoir of revitalization and redemption, he finds the natural connections between generation and succession, fathers and children, booms and declines as he tells the story of his family and their farm. He brings us to the rich earth of America's Fruit Basket, under the vine trellises and canes where grapes are grown, and to the fruit orchards flush with green before harvest, where he uncovers and preserves the age-old wisdom that is fast disappearing in our modern, information-driven world -- and that is urgently needed in this time of food crises and social disruption. Masumoto sees the price the family has paid to grow complex heirloom peaches -- when the market rewards tasteless, big, and red fruits -- and the challenges of maintaining traditions and integrity while working in the modern, high-pressure agricultural marketplace. As his father's health declines along with the profitability of the family farm, Masumoto has the further hard work of nursing his father back to health -- becoming master to the teacher who once schooled him -- and is driven beyond economic concerns to even larger questions of life, death, and renewal. In his gorgeous, lyrical prose, Masumoto conjures the realities of farming life while weaving in the history of American agriculture over the past century, encapsulating universal themes of work along with wisdom that could be gleaned only from the earth. By the end of the workday, he understands the feeling of accomplishment when you've done your best...and discovers that it's when he lets go -- of both his father and control of nature -- that wisdom manifests itself. And, when Masumoto's daughter intends to return to the family farm, hope is found in the generations. In the quiet eloquence of Wisdom of the Last Farmer, you will see how your own destiny is involved in the future of your food, the land, and the farm.
