At Home in Nature: Modern Homesteading and Spiritual Practice in AmericaRebecca Kneale GouldFirst of all, how could anyone possibly write about homesteading and spirituality without mentioning the Amish or Mennonites even ONCE in the entire book? I understand, the book isn't necessarily about Christianity, but the author refers to the Christianity-influenced writings of several other homesteaders, so why not even a nod in the direction of those who were part of the spiritual "back to the land" movement before the Nearings moved the first stone on their first property?
At Home In Nature... is more academic than I thought it would be. It is written as if by a college student doing an ethnographic study for a sociology class. However, if I skip past the author's words and pay more attention to the words of the homesteaders she interviews the book suddenly becomes a very interesting read. And as I venture further into the chapters it gets to be a downright gem. I recommend it with three stars. This comes from someone who has devoured about every book on homesteading and voluntary simplicity you can find.
