What began as a routine hair-cut soon went disastrously awry with the creation of a 3-inch long "ridge" near the nape of her neck. Her already-short hair now had a conspicuously short layer in back. What caused the Ridge? Yin explains that "we didn't have the proper implements. We had a large pair of desk scissors that are for cutting paper."

A coffee-guzzling eco-evangelist with a pendant shaped like an endangered sea turtle dangling from her neck, Mitraud converts farmers, miners and housewives to viable but more ecologically sustainable livelihoods, such as ecotourism. She has the abrupt professionalism of a Harvard M.B.A. and the urgency of a woman who is sprinting madly against a clock. It is an often joyless existence, as she fights for the hearts and minds...
