Standing By Words by Wendell Berry

A collection of essays arguing that the way we use language matters morally and socially, urging readers and writers to be faithful to the meanings of words, to practice careful reading, and to resist the abstractions and manipulations that erode truth and community; the pieces connect language to place, work, and responsibility, showing how attention to words supports honest speech, durable relationships, and a more rooted, ethical way of life.
