Down to the Wire- Confronting Climate Collapse

Down to the Wire: Confronting Climate Collapse - $285

14 May, 2013 by rgonzalezr

“The real fault line in American politics is not between liberals and conservatives…. It is, rather, in how we orient ourselves to the generations to come who will bear the consequences, for better and for worse, of our actions.” So writes David Orr in Down to the Wire, a sober and eloquent assessment of climate destabilization and an urgent call to action. Orr describes how political negligence, an economy based on the insatiable consumption of trivial goods, and a disdain for […]

Compendium for civic economy

Compendium for the Civic Economy - $465

2 May, 2013 by rgonzalezr

“A civic economy is emerging, one which is fundamentally both open and social.” In the aftermath of the financial crisis, and in an era of profound environmental and social change, a collective reflection is taking place on how to share civic prosperity. In the meantime, an increasing number of social innovators are getting on with the job of remaking local economies. Though locally driven, their initiatives are rooted in global cultural and technological trends that preceded the recent economic downturn. Compendium […]

Dreaming-the-Future-Ausubel-Kenny

Dreaming the Future: Reimagining Civilization in the Age of Nature – $275

21 January, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Few would deny that we are entering a period of great change. Our environment is collapsing. Social disruption abounds. All around, it seems, we are experiencing breakdown. But out of this chaos comes the opportunity for breakthrough-the opportunity to reimagine our future. In Dreaming the Future, Kenny Ausubel leads us into that possible new world and introduces us to the thinkers and doers who are-sometimes quietly, sometimes not-leading what he calls “a revolution from the heart of nature and the human […]

Holy Shit- Managing Manure To Save Mankind

Holy Shit: Managing Manure To Save Mankind – $295

3 December, 2012 by rgonzalezr

  In his insightful new book, Holy Shit: Managing Manure to Save Mankind, contrary farmer Gene Logsdon provides the inside story of manure-our greatest, yet most misunderstood, natural resource. He begins by lamenting a modern society that not only throws away both animal and human manure-worth billions of dollars in fertilizer value-but that spends a staggering amount of money to do so. This wastefulness makes even less sense as the supply of mined or chemically synthesized fertilizers dwindles and their cost […]

Eaarth- Making a Life on a Tough New Planet

Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet – $265

9 November, 2012 by rgonzalezr

  The bestselling author of Deep Economy shows that we’re living on a fundamentally altered planet — and opens our eyes to the kind of change we’ll need in order to make our civilization endure. Twenty years ago, with The End of Nature, Bill McKibben offered one of the earliest warnings about global warming. Those warnings went mostly unheeded; now, he insists, we need to acknowledge that we’ve waited too long, and that massive change is not only unavoidable but already under way. […]

consumption and its consequences

Consumption and Its Consequences – $355

2 November, 2012 by rgonzalezr

This is a book for those looking for different answers to some of today’s most fundamental questions. What is a consumer society? Does being a consumer make us less authentic or more materialistic? How and why do we shop? How should we understand the economy?Is our seemingly insatiable desire for goods destroying the planet? Can we reconcile curbs on consumption with goals such as reducing poverty and social inequality?Miller responds to these questions by proposing feasible and, where possible, currently […]

The Carbon Efficient City – $435

2 October, 2012 by rgonzalezr

Although climate change is recognized as an urgent concern, local and national governments, […]

The End of Growth- Adapting to Our New Economic Reality

The End of Growth: Adapting to Our New Economic Reality – $345

4 September, 2012 by rgonzalezr

  Economists insist that recovery is at hand, yet unemployment remains high, real estate values continue to sink, and governments stagger under record deficits. The End of Growth proposes a startling diagnosis: humanity has reached a fundamental turning point in its economic history. The expansionary trajectory of industrial civilization is colliding with non-negotiable natural limits. Richard Heinberg’s latest landmark work goes to the heart of the ongoing financial crisis, explaining how and why it occurred, and what we must do to avert […]

Water wars – $225

17 May, 2012 by rgonzalezr

While draught and desertification are intensifying around the world, corporations are aggressively converting free-flowing water into bottled profits. The water wars of the twenty-first century may match—or even surpass—the oil wars of the twentieth. In Water Wars: Privatization, Pollution and Profit, Vandana Shiva, “the world’s most prominent radical scientist” (the Guardian), shines a light on activists who are fighting corporate maneuvers to convert this life-sustaining resource into more gold for the elites. In Water Wars, Shiva uses her remarkable knowledge of science and society […]
