- Summary:
- 'This book is both interesting and learned, drawing upon an unusual range of sources. It marshals copious evidence with verve and wit to support a wholly persuasive argument. Few books on the subject have shown such breadth and depth of research, such a wealth of illustrations, or such analytical skill. Sowing Modernity promises to become a classic in the literature of the economic and technological history of American farming.'--Morton Rothstein, University of California, Davis
