Items related to Dwellers in the Land: The Bioregional Vision
Imagine a world structured around ecological and cultural diversity, rather than national and political parameters. 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. Dwellers in the Land 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.

About the Author:
KIRKPATRICK SALE is a writer and lecturer whose books include SDS; Human Scale; and The Conquest of Paradise: Christopher Columbus and the Columbian Legacy. His articles have appeared in the New York Review of Books, Newsweek, the Nation, Mother Jones, Utne Reader, Rain, Harper's, and the New York Times Magazine. He lives in New York.
From Library Journal:
This book sets forth the basic principles of bioregionalism, a concept that defines areas of the earth naturally, by typography and biota, rather than by human dictates. Bioregionalism, Sale asserts, would foster self-sufficiency and a cooperative rather than a competitive economy: "Growth would not be its goal, but sustainability." The author does not so much argue his case as put relevant factual and historical information before the reader while asking, What other choice do we have? Despite some distracting side excursions into disparagement of science and spelling propriety, the presentation is logically compelling. Recommended. Diane M. Brown, Univ. of California Libs., Berkeley
