The examples examined in the book feed into much broader debates about the possibility of planning for sustainable development. This book offers clarity to the notion of off-grid by examining two main case studies that do off-grid very differently from each other. The policy context that is examined in the book is distinctive to Wales - it is novel to see a planning policy that not only incorporates but insists on off-grid. The book pivots on this contradiction: if planning (as is thought) is about the spatial reproduction of society, then why should it encourage independence from these systems? \u003ci\u003eLiving Off-Grid in Wales\u003c\/i\u003e also fosters an ethnography of rural Wales, and the book's focus on alternative communities brings a novel perspective to the anthropological literature on community by considering off-grid as a new form of radical social assemblage. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elaine Forde\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786836580\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786836588\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wales Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Elaine Forde","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447980962047,"sku":"9781786836588","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2d98682b-2a56-4d37-a4fa-fa9211f2874e.jpg?v=1777236104","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/living-off-grid-in-wales-elaine-forde-9781786836588","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
