I'm not sure what this thread is for, but here's the book summary:

Beat the System: A Way to Create More Human Environments

Been quite a while since I read it- Great find on the description you sent- I didn't look that far down this morn when finding it on Amazon. I've got some Anthropology background so have lots of great things on "learning from other cultures" and thought that Alduous Huxleys book ISLAND should have been as well rated as his Brave New World or Skinners Walden II- What are your related ranges of interest? Thanx, Greg S.
