1 comments about Song of the Meadowlark: Exploring Values for a Sustainable Future.
- Jim Eggert weaves a simple yet compelling story of why we should highly value our environment in determining the economic well-being of our society. He highlights how the GDP (gross domestic product) does not account for the value of the wonderful song of the meadowlark when a change in farm crop harvesting (which does positively increase our GDP) wipes out the meadowlarks brooding habitat. This example, along with many other delightful essays, make this book a fantastic read.

1 comments about Saving America's Countryside: A Guide to Rural Conservation. For The National Trust for Historic Preservation.
- As a member of one of the group efforts (saving farmland from ill-considered proposed routing of I-69 in Eaton County, Michigan) covered in this book, I have a special reason for supporting it's dissemination in the interest of networking similar endeavors at "Saving America's Countryside" (I receive no remuneration for this support). Samuel Stokes has done a great service in conveying the personal and strategic resources necessary in seeing through land resource-saving efforts.
One of the most important insights gained from my own involvement in farmland preservation, was to find that the requisite skills and strategies to handle such situations is to be found within each of us who sincerely wishes to reach for and achieve land-saving goals. Each of us, no matter whence we come, has something important to contribute.
I am an architect. So, in the broadest sense, what I bring to the table, by inclination as well as training, is a wide variety of problem-solving skills and insights. Who each of us is and what each of us has learned in life and formally is needed to meet these challenges. We all have something to offer - believe it! And read Samuel Stoke's book to know it! Pay attention to how others have handled land-saving and you will begin to see specific attributes in yourself capable of helping in "Saving America's Countryside".
