Rob Kall shows us that we know how to do this, that most of human history was about connection and that there are ways to make it happen again. He offers real solutions and practical suggestions for taking back the world for community, connection and well-being""away from hierarchy, exclusion, and destruction. A new handbook for the necessary revolution!"
