Críticas:

"Our cultural tradition is in large part the record of our continuing effort to understand ourselves as beings specifically human." -- Wendell Berry

Praise for "Imagination in Place"

"Berry's latest collection of essays is the reminiscence of a literary life. It is a book that acknowledges a lifetime of intellectual influences, and in doing so, positions Berry more squarely as a cornerstone of American literature . . . a necessary book. Here, Berry's place as the 'grandfather of slow food' or the 'prophet of rural living' is not questioned. This book ensures we understand the depth and breadth of Berry's art." --"San Francisco Chronicle"

"[A] stellar collection . . . Berry turns over well-tilled, ever-fertile ground in "Imagination in Place". His ideas flow beyond the channels of agrarian enthusiasm. Foodies, architects, transportation engineers, and other writers are adopting and adapting his concepts, perhaps leading to what he envisions will one day be 'an authentic settlement of our country.'" --"The Oregonian"

"As the local-foods movement grows and skepticism about suburban sprawl increases, Berry's long-held ideas ring with renewed urgency." --"The Christian Science Monitor"

"For those who've already come to admire Berry's moral clarity and closely argued critiques of contemporary society, "Imagination in Place" is a welcome chance to continue the conversation." --"The Christian Science Monitor"
