What They're Saying

Critics Review

”…a book telling a tale too lovely for fiction, a lyrical, well-observed book that reports from the llanos of eastern Colombia, savannas tortured by guns and cows and cocaine, of an experiment in solar democracy in which ‘appropriate technology’ is anything but a sad product on the discount tables of broken, post-sixties idealism.”–Tom Athanasiou, The Nation (This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title)
