This book was amazing. It tells the story of an Columbian village that created a safe, self-sufficient, and flourishing community in the middle of not only a desert but a gorrilla military torn country. Ever wonder how hydroponic growing was discovered? Or how about the world's first solar powered refridgerator? This book brings you step by step how these amzaing inventions were thought of and built by a village working together for everyone's benefit.
This book will change the way you approach any problem or challenge and inspire you create something great for everyone's future. If you thought "An Inconvenient Truth" was eye opening then Gaviotas will inspire you to creatively do something about our down spiralling environment.
Thanks to Shauna Sellers for originally recommending this book to me in Spring 2007.
