The Village of Dering Harbor was incorporated in 1917 after many successful years as a resort community formed in 1873 as Shelter Island Park. The centerpiece of the community was the great Manhanset House that opened in 1874 serving the well-to-do of the late 19th century during the summer season. As the hotel was nestled overlooking a protected harbor with access to both Long Island Sound and Block Island Sound with LIRR service from Brooklyn, the community attracted many yachting families from the New York Yacht Club, Atlantic Yacht Club, and other clubs from New York Harbor to Long Island Sound to Bristol Rhode Island. One of the many legacies is the large fleet of Herreshoff 12 1⁄2 footers located at the Shelter Island Yacht Club not to mention the burgees of some of the Club’s earliest members displayed as you find your way to the head. Many of the original cottages built in Dering Harbor were either private homes or houses owned and operated by the hotel. The styles range from period Victorian, Federal Style, Classic Revival to Queen Anne. Two buildings in use today were originally carriage houses. The Village also hosts the third oldest golf course in the Unites States, incorporated as the Manhanset links in 1896 now known as Gardiner’s Bay Country Club. The Village of Dering Harbor has frequently been called the smallest incorporated village in New York State, perhaps in the whole country. The late Ian Brownlie, former mayor, once spoke of his bailiwick as “the smallest political unit in the United States” and has not, so far, been contradicted. Ghost towns of smaller dimensions and zero populations may perhaps be found in the once-golden west but Dering Harbor is decisively not that sort of community. Skeletons in closets, maybe; ghosts not yet! The Rev. Dr. Herman grew up in Harrisburg, Penn., where his father was a Lutheran pastor. He graduated from Gettysburg College and the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg. Dr. Herman pursued additional graduate work in Strasbourg, France and Goettingen and Berlin, Germany. He became pastor of the American Church in Berlin and served there through 1939. From 1945 through 1948 Dr. Herman worked in the refugee and reconstruction division on the World Council of Churches in Process of Formation in Geneva, Switzerland. He joined the staff of the newly organized Lutheran World Federation in 1948 as director of refugee services. In 1952, Dr. Herman began a joint appointment with the National Lutheran Council and the Lutheran World Federation coordinating Latin America work. Dr. and Mrs. Herman retired to Shelter Island, N.Y. in 1971. He remained active as a trustee of the American Bible Society and in the Union Chapel on Shelter Island until his death in 2006.

Small village, secrets rarely remain hidden, and the struggles of one neighbor are felt by all. The absence of passion, love, and concern creates a void where hatred festers, and the ultimate result is division and destruction. To prevent this, we must learn to embody these three essential virtues: PASSION , LOVE AND CONCERN.

In 1959, just one step ahead of the law, Ian Ferguson’s parents left the sophisticated big-city life of Edmonton and ended up in Fort Vermilion, 846 km due north. It was meant to be a temporary move. Ian’s father lasted ten years before he made his escape; his mother remained until recently. Fort Vermilion, once a fur-trapping frontier town, was predominantly aboriginal, the third poorest community in Canada. Like their neighbours, the Ferguson kids—Ian and his six brothers and sisters—grew up without indoor plumbing, central heating or electricity. Living closer to the Arctic Circle than to the American border, without the influences of television or radio, Canada was a dream to them, as faraway and exotic as England or Australia. Beginning with the dramatic events surrounding his birth—including a paddlewheel ferry heading for destruction, a legendary rowboat trip, and a life-and-death race against time—Ferguson moves on to recreate adventures involving loophole ceremonies, life-saving encounters with indigenous medicines, tea dances, stolen hockey sticks and a boy lost in the woods. Funny with sad bits–and sometimes the other way around—The Village of Small Houses is an unforgettable story that lives, as Ferguson says, somewhere between Angela’s Ashes and Who Has Seen the Wind.

The traditional South Indian village pictures the entire universe as an entity in which all living things and human beings play a necessary and effective role. The stability of this worldview is based on a close relationship among human beings, grain crops, and cattle, which has permitted the continuous exploitation of agricultural lands over several centuries. Taken as a whole, the life of South Indian villagers represents a subtle and complicated adaptation to complex and variable environmental circumstances. It now faces the challenge of adjusting to modernization.After a fascinating description of the traditional South Indian worldview, Alan R. Beals describes the settlement patterns and social structures that characterize village life, the agricultural technology and ecology, and the techniques of population regulation that have traditionally operated to maintain appropriate man-to-land ratios. He then explains the relationships among villages, including marriage and economic exchanges, and the omnipresent influence of hierarchies of caste and social ranking.Over the past 2,000 years, South Indian civilization has undergone constant change and modification. Empires have risen and fallen, famine and plague have swept the land, and cities have been built and forgotten. But through all these years of change, the traditional South Indian village has maintained its basic character, adjusting to a variety of environments and countless conquests, yet always adhering to a single basic pattern of life. Village Life in South India, originally published in 1974, provides the reader not only with a still-valid description of a particular and distinctive way of life, but also with an explanation of how life is explained in ecological theory.

A unique analysis of the moral and social dimensions of microeconomic behaviour in developing countries, this book calls into question standard notions of rationality and many of the assumptions of neo-classical economics, and shows how these are inappropriate in communities with widespread disparity in incomes. This book will prove to be essential for students studying development economics.
