Survival of Rural America: Small Victories and Bitter Harvests
"Setting out to find a rural America in decline, Richard Wood found instead a much more complex picture. He found a rural America that is neither fatalistic nor defeatist, places with much to offer those who live there." David Danbom, author of "Born in the Country": A History of Rural America "Wood's book is about more than Kansas. It's about community, lifestyle, and the very roots of America." Jane Kolodinsky, codirector, Center for Rural Studies, University of Vermont "Gives a unique look at rural communities and the internal and external conditions they confront, with humor, insight, and wisdom. I really like this book and think everyone should read it." Cornelia Butler Flora, director, North Central Regional Center for Rural Development"
