 -08-31\n\nHailed by The New York Times as 'a poet of farming' and the Los 
 Angeles Times as the 'Rockstar Farmer' who 'uses his farm as Thoreau did h
 is Walden Pond\,' David Mas Masumoto weaves together stories of family and
  farming\, life and death to reveal age-old wisdom that is fast disappeari
 ng&mdash\;and urgently needed.  When Slow Food activist David Mas Masumoto
 's father has a stroke in the sprawling fields of their farm\, the reality
  of his father's mortality drives Masumoto to reevaluate the significance 
 and meaning of farming in an information-driven\, modern world. As Masumot
 o nurses his father back to health\, and becomes a teacher to the master w
 ho had once schooled him\, he reclaims the practical and emotional wisdom 
 that they and their ancestors had learned from working the land. Realizing
  that he himself needs to pass on a wealth of knowledge to the next genera
 tion\, he writes this impassioned narrative&mdash\;part memoir\, part life
  instruction&mdash\;about re-connecting to the land.\nMasumoto is the awar
 d-winning author of Epitaph for a Peach and other books\, popular columnis
 t\, spokesperson for organic farming\, and a fellow at The Kellogg Foundat
 ion. A third-generation farmer\, he grows certified organic peaches\, nect
 arines\, and grapes on his family's eighty-acre California farm.\n\nStart
