Good, good. 497, illus., notes, index, highlighting/underlining on first 40 pgs, previous owner's name & address on front endpaper. Notes on rear endpaper. Critchfield returns to his beloved villages to witness the closing of the urban-rural population gap and to assess the changed values and altered lives global villagers now inherit. Critchfield takes us from a Holocaust memorial ceremony in the woods outside Popowlany village in Poland to a sacred Javanese puppet shadow-play in a Pilangsari village in Indonesia; from planting a rice field in Nae-Chon village in South Korea to harvesting wheat in a Ghungrali village on the Punjab Plain.
