Ben returns to Vermont from Bolivia with his new book The Price of Fire: Resource Wars and Social Movements in Bolivia (AK Press, 2007). He is the editor of the Vermont-based publication TowardFreedom.com. The Price of Fire is "an unforgettable and inspiring journey through Bolivia and neighboring countries, providing a window on the revolutionary struggles of the poor and dispossessed," to quote Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, author of Blood on the Border (For more information on the book, visit http://www.bolviabook.com or http://www.akpress.org/2007/items/priceoffireakpress)

Ramor is the author of Clandestines: The Pirate Journals of an Irish Exile.
