Priests and Programmers: Technologies of Power in the Engineered Landscape of Bali Revised edition
J. Stephen Lansing
Describes the network of water temples that managed the flow of irrigation water in the name of the Goddess of the Crater Lake. Using the techniques of ecological simulation modeling, this book argues that the system of temple rituals is not only a reflection of utilitarian constraints but also a basic ingredient in organization of production.
