Ralph Borsodi: Reshaping Modern Culture | Mildred J. Loomis

NOTE: These are "new old stock" items. This book was printed in a limited edition of only 300 copies in 1992 and is now quite rare. We have obtained an unopened case of books, with the printers mailing label. Copies are in as new condition, some copies have some yellowing from age. A remarkable find of a rare biography of a fascinating figure.Ralph Borsodi was the father of the back to the land movement and Mildred Loomis was his greatest advocate. This is the only biography of Ralph Borsodi, a real "Mad Man" of the 20s who turned against the mediocrity machine and set up a homestead with his family and dedicated the rest of his life to the pursuit of comfort as opposed to consumption. Not just for himself, but for anyone who would hear. First through his equal part practical how to and philosophical manifesto This Ugly Civilization and then through the more approachable Flight from the City. Intellectually inspired by Henry George, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Benjamin
