<p>Founded in the early 1970s in the rugged back country of California's north coast, Compost College was a unique intentional community where diverse organic elements came together to make things grow. These elements, a motley bunch of college students, teachers, administrators and drifters, dreamed about a better way of life. Their experiences living through hazardous times under primitive conditions, was painful but filled with moments of joy and beauty. Rick Seymour, one of the commune's original members, tells the story of these counter-culture visionaries, providing a prologue and epilogue to put the Compost experiment in perspective.</p>

A New Connection is about helping people solve alcohol and chemical dependency problems. It is not a "true believer" book, offering an easy answer or magical cure, but a practical guide to developing effective strategies with people involved in destructive substance abuse. It offers winning suggestions in the midst of our current "unwinnable" war against drugs. People who have chemical dependency problems are seen not as a type, but as individuals in particular families who need specific and unique problem-solving approaches, developed from what they themselves bring to the therapeutic setting. Among other things, the book describes how counselors and therapists can create a climate of trust and rapport, in which a troubled person will feel free to examine her/his life situation and make appropriate plans for change.
