Publisher's Synopsis
This book (the fourth of a lucky streak) is the result of fifteen years of research — in the library and in the field — on the communal living. It is a journey from the ancient Essene communities to nowadays experiences of cohousing, without forgetting the communitarian experiments of the Protestant Reformation, utopian socialism, anarchism, hippy and kibbutzim movements and, then, deep ecologists, new-agers, "eccentric" Christians, unusual muslims etc.
