Earth Masters
A new book by Clive Hamilton. This book goes to the heart of the unfolding reality of the twenty-first-century: international efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have failed and before the end of the century Earth is now projected to be warmer than it has been for 15 million years. The question, “Can the crisis be avoided?” has been superseded by a more chilling one, “What can be done to prevent the devastation of the living world?” And the disturbing answer, now under wide discussion both within and outside the scientific community, is to seize control of the climate of the Earth itself.

Book Review
Active Hope by Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone (2012, New World Library, California)
The subtitle of this book says it all: "How to face the mess we're in without going crazy". This is a boolk with a process that begins with gratitude and leads to action, while acknowledging all the emtions that are in between. You can borrow it from Earth Link.
