Description

"Timothy McGettigan describes a series of three separate journeys aboard the Green Tortoise, a unique adventure travel company with a tradition of sponsoring counter-cultural excursions. In relating his offbeat - and occasionally harrowing - adventures with the company, McGettigan has done more than create an entertaining story. He has also developed a compelling analysis of the way that power, organization, and order are expressed and maintained in social groups. As a result, the book offers an accessible treatment of some of the most complex and vexing questions sociologists address."--BOOK JACKET.
