Intermediate Technology, 拢16.95, ISBN 1 85339 251 0). Its 26 case studies,
from Indonesian forest medicines to indigenous Liberian steel making, shout loud
that local knowledge is the foundation for development, not a barrier to it.
Outside knowledge and technologies should be on tap, but never on top.
