Many of the LETS sytems are idiosyncratic -- the originator, Michael Linton,
is a Scot who lives near Vancouver, and has pursued this dream for 15+ years

The following is extracted from the CDD website at
http://www.npsnet.com/bibliogr.htm
Wilber, Ken. The Eye of the Spirit. An Integral Vision for a World Gone
Slightly Mad. Shambhala,1997.
What would a truly integral culture look like, a culture that included
body, mind, soul, and spirit?
Shambhala's "Ken Wilber Forum" at http://www.shambhala.com/wilber
We recommend the books of Ken Wilber because they outline a context in
which everything can be held.
Wilber, Ken. Sex, Ecology, and Spirituality. Shambhala, 1995.
An extraordinary work bringing the history of the evolution of mankind
and his/er consciousness within the reach of the ordinary reader - with a
little perseverance.
Wilber, Ken. A Brief History of Everything. Shambhala, 1996.
"It brings the debate about consciousness, evolution, and our capacity for
transformation to an entirely new level. More practically, it will save you
many missteps and wrong turns on whatever wisdom path you choose to take."
Questions and answers based on "Sex, Ecology, and Spirituality".
Wilber, Ken. Grace and Grit. Shambhala, 1993. If "Brief History" is too
difficult, "Grace" may be too human - the story of Ken Wilber's 5 year
partnership with his new wife Treya, dying from cancer.
