Title: Dwellers in the land
First published: 1985
Description: "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 presents a definitive introduction to the unique concept of bioregionalism, an alternative way of organizing society to create smaller-scaled, more ecologically sound, and individually responsive communities with renewable economies and cultures.

Sale emphasizes 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."--BOOK JACKET.
