BP No. 3 Village Studies in Sri Lanka

Yvonne Shanahan was to continue this article with a case study of a Kandyan village, and give an overall look at the implications for Extension of new stoves in Sri Lanka. Yvonne is about to visit Sri Lanka again, to continue with another aspect of village studies. Accordingly her article is postponed until the next Boiling Point so that the earlier studies can be reappraised in the light of a recent visit.
