The Other Side of the World

By John Walters on Wednesday, October 24, 2001.

Bill Eddy is an environmentalist and filmaker who lives in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. He has spent much of his life in other parts of the world, primarily Africa and India. His experience has given him a fresh perspective on the nature of culture, language, and how we relate to our world. He says the Western way of seeing has its advantages, but it can also separate us from our environment and that can lead to a culture of exploitation. Bill has collected his stories and thoughts in a new book of essays called "The Other Side of the World".
