Combines essays and short fiction to discuss these farms June 8, 2008
The classic free range farm that is so happily depicted in children's books is not how the majority of modern farming is done - it is instead done much like a factory, and there may be some ill effects from it, which "Trespassing Dirt Stories and Field Notes" looks to examine, combining essays and short fiction to discuss these farms, which while producing great amounts of meat and diary products, have other less obvious penalties to the environment. "Trespassing Dirt Stories and Field Notes" is highly recommended for anyone concerned about animal rights and a good pick for any community library environmental studies shelf.
