Article Summary:
"...Ray's nature-boy philosophy might provide a homespun and quirky charm to the book's solid technical core -- perhaps the inevitable outcome when somebody's been out in the woods a bit too long...This, along with his zeal for the teachings of charlatan health "experts," demonstrates Ray's willingness to travel with two yardsticks: the steely one he holds up to the trappings of modern western life and the fuzzy live-grained one he uses to measure advice from various faddist gurus." This controversial review has generated more letters to the editor than the rest of our articles combined.Buy Access to This Article
