| Suggested Reading Living
on The Earth by Alicia Bay Laurel.
The
early '70s was a time of great optimism (and despair in true Dickens fashion).
Everywhere people were experimenting with alternative lifestyles, leaving
the cities and heading back-to-nature. Communes were popping up all over
and those returning to the land had to learn fast the art of survival.
With impeccable timing and the feeling that a guide to this new/old way
of life was needed, Alicia Bay Laurel wrote "Living on The Earth", an invaluable
resource for those seeking to live in harmony with Mother Nature. Read Skip's Review! |
