Born under a bad sky : notes from the dark side of the Earth / Jeffrey St. Clair.

St. Clair, Jeffrey. (Author).

Summary:

The final section of Born Under a Bad Sky takes the volume far beyond its muckraking beginnings and underpinnings. In doing so, St. Clair has created a classic narrative of writing that simultaneously includes and transcends the best of the travel and nature writing genres. --from a review.
