	LANSING, JOHN STEPHEN Priests and Programmers : Technologies of Power in the Engineered Landscape of Bali Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1991. Paperback. 15 x 24 cm.; pg. xii, 183; Lists of figures and tables, introduction, appendixes, notes, index. "For the Balinese, the whole of nature is a perpetual resource: through centuries of carefully directed labor by generations of farmers, the engineered landscape of the island's rice terraces has taken shape. According to Stephen Lansing, the need for effective cooperation in water management links thousands of farmers together in hierarchies of productive relationships that span entire watersheds. With unusual clarity and style, Lansing describes the network of water temples that once managed the flow of irrigation water in the name of the Goddess of the Crater Lake. Based on a system of power relations so subtle as to be completely overlooked by colonial administrators, the practical role of the temples was unnoticed until the advent of the 'Green Revolution' in the 1970s. Lansing shows how the water temples then lost control of cropping patterns, a series of ecological crises developed, and the bureaucratic model of irrigation control was shown to be hopelessly oversimplified.

	LANSING, JOHN STEPHEN Priests and Programmers : Technologies of Power in the Engineered Landscape of Bali Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1991. Paperback. 15 x 24 cm.; pg. xii, 183; Lists of figures and tables, introduction, appendixes, notes, index. "For the Balinese, the whole of nature is a perpetual resource: through centuries of carefully directed labor by generations of farmers, the engineered landscape of the island's rice terraces has taken shape. According to Stephen Lansing, the need for effective cooperation in water management links thousands of farmers together in hierarchies of productive relationships that span entire watersheds. With unusual clarity and style, Lansing describes the network of water temples that once managed the flow of irrigation water in the name of the Goddess of the Crater Lake. Based on a system of power relations so subtle as to be completely overlooked by colonial administrators, the practical role of the temples was unnoticed until the advent of the 'Green Revolution' in the 1970s. Lansing shows how the water temples then lost control of cropping patterns, a series of ecological crises developed, and the bureaucratic model of irrigation control was shown to be hopelessly oversimplified.

"Bali was 'discovered' in the late 1920s and has exercised a strong fascination over Westerners ever since. One of the pioneers who helped make Bali known to the outside world was a young American journalist who became the author of this book. THE LAST PARADISE is a description of Bali, its inhabitants, their customs, beliefs and attitudes which is remarkable both for its insights and for its prescience. Much has been written about Bali since then but perhaps no better picture of what Bali was like before the advent of modern tourism has been given than that found in this book. "; 0195825373.
