rlcj, Been quietly working on a book idea hence my recent silence: current title ‘Sodden Earth and Soiled Water: an Environmental History of Virtuous Cycles and Vicious Half Circles’. It’s an elemental story that tells the story of the interaction of earth, water, & agriculture over the last five centuries. I mention it here so it becomes real & I actually write it! You’re the first to know of this. I shall post chapter synopses when they are written. #EnvHist #Earth #Water #Farming #Agriculture
