The Family Farm and the Agrarian Roots of Western Civilization
Book Reviews
Independent Criticism
"Exhaustively documented and developed, beautifully reasoned, clearly and--for the most part--calmly stated."--The New Yorker
"Brilliant and moving. . . . Hanson's informed exploration of the crucial role of the small farmer in the creation of Greek civilization is a much-needed reminder that the artistic and intellectual splendor of Athens' great age did not spring to life fully formed, like Athena from the head of Zeus; it has its base in the countryside."--Bernard Knox, Washington Times
