5.0 out of 5 stars
Ancient Irish agricultural practices; implications for today,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nature's Silent Music: A Rucksack Naturalist's Ireland (Paperback)
In this book, Dr. Callahan shows how "civilized" insanity is turning Ireland away from her naturally harmonious, aesthetically pleasing, sound practices. Why remove a thatched roof, for example, to replace it with galvanized tin, only to increase the heating bill? With insightful wisdom, he also examines the mysterious power of round towers, "magic spots," and the healers such as Biddy Early. His study of hedgerows, booley people and Ireland's traditional form of agriculture can teach everyone the value of the land and why not to carelessly destroy it with toxic chemicals. Softcover, 224 pages.
Other books by Dr. Callahan: Exploring The Spectrum, A Walk in The Sun, and Paramagetism (Rediscovering Nature's Secret Force For Growth).
