First sentence: Brahimu was the elementary school principal who, for a modest fee, gave me private lessons in French and Swahili in the remote African village where I lived in Zaire (now called the Democratic Republic of the Congo).
Description: "This book makes available to readers the new ideas of ecological economists, who have been revolutionizing and greening the once "dismal science." Redefining economic concepts to allow for the primacy of our water, oceans, air, soil and forests, he reveals the necessary steps to a genuine, rather than illusory, prosperity."--BOOK JACKET.
