From Library Journal
This book sets forth the basic principles of bioregionalism, a concept that defines areas of the earth naturally, by typography and biota, rather than by human dictates. Bioregionalism, Sale asserts, would foster self-sufficiency and a cooperative rather than a competitive economy: "Growth would not be its goal, but sustainability." The author does not so much argue his case as put relevant factual and historical information before the reader while asking, What other choice do we have? Despite some distracting side excursions into disparagement of science and spelling propriety, the presentation is logically compelling. Recommended. Diane M. Brown, Univ. of California Libs., Berkeley
