Summary: A fascinating case covered with the wrong focus.
Comment: As someone with a great interest in seeing communities like that described in Community Technologies develop, I was dissapointed in Hess' approach to the subject. Much of the book was a Wendell Berry style argument about the need for change in the American lifestyle, though Hess differs from Berry in that he is not as eloquent and thinks more urbanly than Berry. What I hoped for was a detailed account of WHAT happened, HOW they made it happened, and WHY it didn't work. Not nearly enough space was devoted to those issues, so it was difficult to draw my own conclusions.
