5 out of 5 stars China countryside, 1911   January 24, 2010

1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I first read this in the Small Farm Journal. It recounts the ingenuity and hard work that Chinese employ to make the most of resources. Some of the grainy photographs were included there, but this republication does not include the photographs which I think are important.


4 out of 5 stars really good book   November 17, 2008
Jeremiah Murray
This was a well written book that provided a lot of knowledge not just about ancient farming knowledge but even ancient conservation techniques. If you like organic or natural farming then you will find this book a good read.
