Low-tech solutions for community living: Review by author of When Technology Fails August 20, 2008 Produced by the same people who publish Where There is No Doctor, this is an excellent, well illustrated guide for healthy, self-reliant living at a low-tech village level. It covers the gamut from dealing with toxic contamination from local mines or other industries, to village sewage sanitation for protecting the local water supply, to village health care, sustainable agriculture, pesticide and heavy metal issues, community renewable energy, community water systems, etc. A terrific resource guide for villages all over the world, especially those where corporate logging, mining, or manufacturing interests have had a negative impact on the health and welfare of the community. In addition to villages, this book is a valuable resource for anyone who wishes to live a relatively low-tech and low-impact lifestyle, whether on their own or as part of a self-reliant community.
