Robert Giles’s Summary
Retired after teaching for 50 years in natural resource topics, I now work on implementing an important concept found in "Rural System? Just Dreaming" (at http://www.RuralSystem.com). I write a blog "Faunal Force" (at http://www.FaunalForce.typepad.com/faunalforce ) on one major aspect of that potential for-profit system. I also write another blog, "The Survivalists" (at
http://www.faunalforce.typepad.com/survivalists ).
