Abstract

Abstract: Agrarians painstakingly accommodate to the realities of life and death in the effort to husband the health and long-term productivity of the land. The buildings and landscapes erected by these like-minded individuals and communities embrace values of thrift and pragmatism, unlike the heroics reshaping the rural and urban areas since the advent of industrialism.
