In response to present and impending ecological and economic crises, Kirkpatrick Sale offers a definitive introduction to the unique concept of bioregionalism, an alternative way of organizing society to create smaller scale, more ecologically sound, individually responsive communities with renewable economies and cultures. He emphasizes, among many other factors, the concept of regionalism through natural population division, settlement near and stewardship of watershed areas, and the importance of communal ownership of and responsibility for the land. \u003ci\u003eDwellers in the Land\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the realistic development of these bioregionally focused communities and the places where they are established to create a society that is both ecologically sustainable and satisfying to its inhabitants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKIRKPATRICK SALE is a writer and lecturer whose books include \u003ci\u003eSDS\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eHuman Scale\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eThe Conquest of Paradise: Christopher Columbus and the Columbian Legacy\u003c\/i\u003e.
