The land remains A midwestern perspective on our past and future
Book - 2022
The Land Remains blends personal memoir, a history of Iowa land conservation, and an analysis of contemporary issues of soil health, water quality, public lands and future challenges to tell the story how land shapes our lives. Written by Professor Neil Hamilton, a well-known authority on agriculture and land policy who recently retired after thirty-six years directing the Agricultural Law Center at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. The Land Remains weaves stories from his career working with food and the land to bring a fresh perspective to a topic most people take for granted.
