Lord Northbourne (1896-1982) was a man of exceptional vision, who
already in the 1940s diagnosed in detail the sickness of modern
society as stemming from the severance of its organic links with
the wholeness of life. A leading figure in the early organic
farming movement, his writings profoundly affected such other
pioneers as Sir Albert Howard, Rolf Gardiner, Ehrenfried Pfeiffer,
and H. J. Massingham. His path led him on to a profound study of
comparative religion, traditional metaphysics, and the science of
symbols, which he employed in incisive observations on the
character of modern society. His later writings exercised
considerable influence on his younger contemporaries E. F.
Schumacher and Thomas Merton, and in many ways anticipate the
essays of Wendell Berry. The republication of this milestone
ecological text will be followed by three volumes of Northbourne's
later metaphysical and cultural writings.
