Maps, xvi + 183pp, index, notes, appendices, prior owner's pencilled note half title page, covers little shelf worn, a very good paperback copy. "For the Balinese, the whole of nature is a perpetual resource: through centuries of carefully directed labor by generations of farmers, the engineered landscape of the island's rice terraces has taken shape. According to Stephen Lansing, the need for effective cooperation in water management links thousands of farmers together in hierarchies of productive relationships that span entire watersheds. With unusual clarity and style, Lansing describes the network of water temples that once managed the flow of irrigation water in the name of the Goddess of the Crater Lake. Based on a system of power relations so subtle as to be completely overlooked by colonial administrators, the practical role of the temples was unnoticed until the advent of the "Green Revolution" of the 1970s. Lansing shows how the water temples then lost control of cropping patterns, a series of ecological crises developed, and the bureaucratic model of irrigation control was shown to be hopelessly over-simplified. Today the ancient system of water temples is threatened by development plans that assume agriculture to be a purely technical phenomenon. Using the techniques of ecological simulation modeling as well as cultural and historical analysis, Lansing argues that the material and the symbolic form a single complex - a historically evolving system of productive relationships that is the true unit of analysis. The symbolic system of temple rituals is not merely a reflection of utilitarian constraints but also a basic ingredient in the organization of production." (Publisher's description).

"This report is based on work done by the Survey Research Center of the University of Michigan under a subcontract from The Urban Institute in Washington D.C. The Urban Institute undertook a survey research project related to the evaluation of Model Cities Program under contract with the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The basic aim of the work was to plan a subsequent survey project and to carry out a pilot study. The obligation undertaken by the Survey Research Center was to assist the Urban Institute in various ways in developing plans for the project. The obligations of the Center have been met in part by supplying information and consultation which have been available to the Urban Institute in preparing its reports to HUD. The Center also undertook the actual data collection involved in the pilot study. This report covers the work done by the Center in connection with the execution of the pilot study." ---- from the Preface.

hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. INSCRIBED BY SHERRY LANSING.

Maps, black and white photographic and line illustrations, xii + 225 pages, index, neat pencilled notes throughout text, dustjacket spine sunned, a good hardback copy. "Along rivers in Bali, small groups of farmers meet regularly in water temples to manage their irrigation systems. They have done so for a thousand years. Over the centuries, water temple networks have expanded to manage the ecology of rice terraces at the scale of whole watersheds. Although each group focuses on its own problems, a global solution nonetheless emerges that optimizes irrigation flows for everyone. Did someone have to design Bali's water temple networks, or could they have emerged from a self-organizing process? "Perfect Order" - a groundbreaking work at the nexus of conservation, complexity theory, and anthropology - describes a series of fieldwork projects triggered by this question, ranging from the archaeology of the water temples to their ecological functions and their place in Balinese cosmology."
