Fittingly, I got this book from Hospitality Club visitors.

At the start I must say that relatively speaking, I thought this book was not quite as exciting, quite as good a match between style and content as One no, many yesses. What I mean by a match between style and content is that Paul Kingsnorth's book has a different atmosphere for each place he visited. This book felt more like intellectual distance to me. Although it's engaged rather than impartial, it argues with facts rather than with community spirit. That all sounds good, doesn't it? At least it does to my intellectual side. So I'm just left with the feeling that it's just not the top priority.
So, by all means read this book, it's actually really good, like when it stops to notice the tension between big demonstrations that catch the public eye, and the underlying process of democracy building, of local empowerment, of changing daily lives (and holds up the Zapatista movement as a practical example of that).

Hand delivered to my door... what more could I ask for?
