Description
But are these beautiful because we think them so, or because they are beautiful in the mind of Nature or the mind of God, beautiful by intention inborn in a world beloved?

"In this new collection of [ten] essays, Berry confronts head-on the necessity of clear thinking and direct action. Never one to ignore the present challenge, he understands that only clearly stated questions support the understanding their answers require.

"The Need to Be Whole continues the work [Berry] began in The Hidden Wound (1970) and The Unsettling of America (1977), demanding a careful exploration of this hard, shared truth: the wealth of the mighty few governing this nation has been built on the unpaid labor of others.
