Occupy World Street: A Global Roadmap for Radical Economic and Political Reform

Occupy World Street: A Global Roadmap for Radical Economic and Political Reform

As demonstrators worldwide demand change, Occupy World Street offers a sweeping vision of how to reform our global economic and political structures, break away from empire, and build a world of self-determining sovereign states that respect the need for ecological sustainability and uphold human rights.
In this refreshingly detailed plan, Ross Jackson shows how a handful of small nations could take on a leadership role; create new alliances, new governance, and new global institutions; and, in cooperation with grassroots activists, pave the way for other nations to follow suit.

Wild Law: A Manifesto for Earth Justice, Second Edition

Wild Law: A Manifesto for Earth Justice, Second Edition

Cormac Cullinan shows that the survival of the community of life on Earth (including humans) requires us to fundamentally alter our understanding of the nature and purpose of law and governance, rather than merely change laws.

In describing what this new “Earth governance” and “Earth jurisprudence” might look like, he also gives practical guidance on how to begin moving toward it.
“Every now and then, an idea emerges that helps the human species to evolve.Wild Law is one such idea and is brilliantly explained in this book. Cormac Cullinan leads us toward a new relationship with Mother Earth—just in time.” —Maude Barlow, activist, co-founder of the Blue Planet Project and author of Blue Covenant: The Global Water Crisis

In 2008, the best-selling Transition Handbooksuggested a model for a community-led response to peak oil and climate change. The Transition Companion picks up the story today, and tells inspiring tales of communities working for a future where local economies are valued and nurtured; where lower energy use is seen as a benefit; and where enterprise, creativity, and the building of resilience have become cornerstones of a new economy.
This book looks in detail at the process a community in transition goes through, calling on the experience of those who have already embarked on this journey. 

Diary of an Eco-Outlaw: An Unreasonable Woman Breaks the Law for Mother Earth

Diary of an Eco-Outlaw: An Unreasonable Woman Breaks the Law for Mother Earth

As George Bernard Shaw once said, “All progress depends on unreasonable women.” And in Diary of an Eco-Outlaw, the eminently unreasonable Wilson delivers ano-holds-barred account of how she—a fourth-generation shrimper, former boat captain, and mother of five—took a turn at midlife, unable to stand by quietly as she witnessed abuses of people and the environment.

“An unstoppable tale of true bravery . . . This book will shake the ground beneath your feet.” —Janisse Ray, author of Pinhook
The Case Against Fluoride: How Hazardous Waste Ended Up in Our Drinking Water and the Bad Science and Powerful Politics That Keep It There

The Case Against Fluoride: How Hazardous Waste Ended Up in Our Drinking Water and the Bad Science and Powerful Politics That Keep It There

When the U.S. Public Health Service endorsed water fluoridation in 1950, there was little evidence of its safety. Now, six decades later and after most countries have rejected the practice, more than 70 percent of Americans, as well as 200 million people worldwide, are drinking fluoridated water.

Just because the dental and medical establishments endorse a public-health measure doesn’t mean it’s safe.

Confronting Collapse: The Crisis of Energy and Money in a Post Peak Oil World A 25-Point Program for Action

Confronting Collapse: The Crisis of Energy and Money in a Post Peak Oil World A 25-Point Program for Action

In Confronting Collapse, author Michael C. Ruppert, a former LAPD narcotics officer turned investigative journalist, details the intricate connections between money and energy, including the ways in which oil shortages and price spikes triggered the economic crash that began in September 2008.

“Michael Ruppert does not mince words in this stirring and uncompromising book on the vital issue of global energy and economics. He addresses some simple but widely ignored concepts relating to the critical role of oil and gas in the modern world. First, they are finite resources formed in the geological past and are, therefore, subject to depletion. Second, they have to be found before they can be produced, the peak of which is long past.”—Colin Campbell, co-founder of The Association for the Study of Peak Oil, from the Foreword.

Explains in clear and simple language what proposed climate policies will do—and what they won’t do.

“This citizen’s guide demystifies climate policy so that you can play an active role in forming it. We can’t wait any longer, and we can’t get it wrong.” —Bill McKibben, from the Foreword


Reinventing Fire: Bold Business Solutions for the New Energy Era

Reinventing Fire: Bold Business Solutions for the New Energy Era

 Oil and coal have built our civilization and enriched the lives of billions. Yet their rising costs now outweigh their benefits. Amory Lovins and Rocky Mountain Institute offer anew vision to win the clean energy race—not forced by public policy but led by business.
Grounded in thirty years’ practical experience, this ground-breaking analysis integrates market-based solutions across transportation, buildings, industry, and electricity. It maps strategies for a U.S. economy that needs no oil, no coal, no nuclear energy, one-third less natural gas, and no new inventions.
Finalist in the Business and Economics Category for Foreword’s Book of the Year awards!

“My friend Amory Lovins knows that the most important question of the 21st century is the ‘how’ question—how we turn good ideas into working solutions. Reinventing Fire is a wise, detailed, and comprehensive blueprint for gathering the best existing technologies for energy use and putting them to work right now to create jobs, end our dependence on climate-changing fossil fuels, and unleash the enormous economic potential of the coming energy revolution.”—President Bill Clinton
