"The book is well structured, engaging and highly topical; it brings together a range of academics and practitioners - itself a potentially interesting and seldom examined dialogue - around three main areas which form the book's structure: Bioregionalism; Permaculture; Ecovillages." * Malcolm Miles, University of Plymouth "This is an excellent and timely collection of essays by ecological and environmental anthropologists and other scholars and activists who, together, are redefining the field of human ecology as a contribution to the cultural revolution the world needs, if we are to achieve the transition to sustainability." * Laura M. Rival, University of Oxford " - a fascinating and significant anthology. The integration in this book of theory and practice, scholar and activist, reprinted classics and new essays, is very creative and admirable. It deals with three contemporary subjects that have been rather neglected by researchers - It is current and futuristic in many respects [and] deserves a wide readership." * Leslie E. Sponsel, University of Hawai'i
