OTH SHELTER and work of art, a house without nails rises in Boleipara. Bamboo fiber binds studs, walls, floor, and leaf roof, all also crafted from bamboo. A bamboo beam even becomes a hard communal pillow. "That way we wake up fast during danger and when the first cock crows," Menglong explained. A log ladder leads to the airy veranda. I saw such dwellings withstand even the fierce monsoon. National Geographic, February 1973
