Alan's Books Gaviotas10th Anniversary EditionChelsea Green’s 10th Anniversary Edition of Alan Weisman’s Gaviotas will be in stores this September. Gaviotas is a classic—one of the most elegant and hopeful environmental stories ever told. In the late 1960s, a young Colombian development worker named Paolo Lugari wondered if the nearly uninhabited, infertile land sixteen hours east of Bogota could be made livable. Lugari had no idea that four decades later his experiment would be one of the world’s most celebrated examples of sustainable living: a permanent village called Gaviotas. According to Gabriel Garcie Marquez, Paolo Lugari is “inventer of the World.” Click here for Alan Weisman’s Fall Tour Dates |
