A book Well Worth Reading
I first read The magic of Findhorn about 20years ago. For me the book tells of courage and faith. Courage to live a lifestyle out of the "norm". Faith to understand that the Creator will provide; will allow "Cabbages to grow out of the sand,where vegtables have never grown".
How Green Is Your City? The SustainLane U.S. City Rankings

Some pleasant surprises!
This book is beautifully laid out, with all the criteria explained for each city. Several cities were ranked higher than I expected, due to my lack of knowledge of their "green" progress. If you want to move to where it's safe (disaster-wise), you can find it here. Or if your main thing is great air quality or any of the other rankings, there's a city for you. I think it is more than a ...
The Next Economy

We are in an economy that requires more dept to survive but whose ability to sustain the debt in declining
1. The confidence game of debt and capital. The cost of capital will remain high. Communism failed because it allocated capital in unnecessary factories, faulty inventions, and the overproduction of goods - misallocating funds and bring no benefit to the economy. During inflation the value of money declines. Inflation represents the cost of capital. As price rises, the value of money ...
Growing a Business

Business is about practice
1. Tire of spending too much time looking for natural foods, Hawken starts Boston's first natural food store. In the first year, the company was grossing $300 and it was fun. "As the years rolled by, the company made money, lost it, hired hundreds of employees, bought railroad cars, opened stores and warehouses on both coasts, set up wholesale and manufacturing facilities, flirted with ...

Get it now, no need to think twice
I'm pretty sure that after you've read this book, you'll feel the way I do: that this in the one book that everyone in the world should read. If there is a more eye-opening book on the same topic than this one out there, I have yet to read it, but it doesn't matter. That's because this book will do a sufficiently good job at shedding our ignorance about the most important, most dangerous issues ...
Blessed Unrest
49 reviews
Viking, 2007
not deep and logical enough, more like a summary of thoughts and ideas instead of providing a coherent view or framework
First, the book promoted me to think about what the social change would have been in the past for different cultures if it was carried out in peace. To help you understand what I mean, let me elaborate a little. With technology breakthrough, the whole planet is becoming smaller and thus different cultures come closer to each other. A lot of collision happened when different cultures ...

Little, Brown and Company, 2007
an optimistic vision of the future
I am about halfway through this now and I find the book very engaging and not difficult to read. I do agree that the current edition is dated. Kyoto costs too much? 80% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050 is a pipe dream? This book will go a long way to persuading you that we will meet that target and more before 2050 and *make* money. The compelling question is - why aren't we further ...

Published in 1982, Relevant Today and Proven with Time
I am finding that many of the books from the 1970's and 1980's that focused on Limits to Growth, the global reach of multinational corporations, the dangers of centralized financial power, are all becoming accutely relevant now. They were a quarter century before the mainstream, and are now ready to be accepted and acted on by at least 80 million in the USA alone. This is such a book. It ...

Global climate change: It's imperiling the earth's ability to generate breathable air, drinkable water, and adequate food. It's spurring ever-stricter environmental regulations and vocal public protests. And it's reshaping demand for companies' products and services in unpredictable ways. Yet these risks also come with new opportunities to seize competitive advantage. The keys? Assess the risks and opportunities for your business presented by ...
