Why We Need Slow Money

There is such a thing as money that is too fast.

Money that is too fast is money that has become so detached from people, place, and the activities that it isfinancing that not even the experts understand it fully. Money that is too fast makes it impossible to say whetherthe world economy is going through a correction in the credit markets, triggered by the subprime mortgage crisis,or whether we are teetering on the edge of something much deeper and more challenging, tied to petrodollars,derivatives, hedge funds, futures, arbitrage, and a byzantine hyper-securitized system of intermediation that noquant, no program trader, no speculator, no investment bank CEO, can any longer fully understand or manage.Just as no one can say precisely where the meat in a hamburger comes from (it may contain meat from as many as ahundred animals), no one can say where the money in this or that security has come from, where it is going, whatis behind it, whether—if it were to be “stopped” and, like a hot potato, held by someone for more than a fewinstants—it represents any intrinsic or real value. Money that is too fast creates an environment in which, whenquestioned by the press about the outcome of the credit crisis, former treasury secretary Robert Rubin can onlyrespond, “No one knows.”

This kind of befuddlement is what arises when the relationships among capital, community, and bioregion are broken.

As long as money accelerates around the planet, divorced from where we live, our befuddlement will continue. Aslong as the way we invest is divorced from how we live and how we consume, our befuddlement will worsen. As long asthe way we invest uproots companies, putting them in the hands of a broad, shallow pool of absentee shareholderswhose primary goal is the endless growth of their financial capital, our befuddlement at the depletion of our social andnatural capital will only deepen.

We must reexamine the story of progress, being honest about where we as a species seem to be going awry—if onedefines nuclear weapons, 9/11, Twinkies, the continuing promulgation of a culture of rampant consumerism in the faceof 6.6 billion people, climate change, volatility in global food prices, and widening wealth inequalities as “going awry.”We must recognize the potentially disastrous consequences of doing the same thing over and over again—going moreand more global, bigger and bigger, faster and faster—hoping for a different outcome.

Then, and only then, we may find the courage to slow money down—not all of it, of course, but meaningfulquantities of it. In a world of trillions of dollars a day, this means billions of dollars a day . . . wait . . . did I say billionsof dollars a day? I did, and before The Twilight Zone theme song starts ringing in your ears, I add: The Good Lord, andhis better half, Great Gaia, did not hand us today’s global financial markets on a platter, blessed and preordained. No,we invented them, and we have it in our power to reinvent them, to design what comes after them. What seems pre-posterous when viewed through the wrong end of the fast-money telescope seems wonderfully within reach whenlooked at through the lens of slow money, allowing us to set about the work of rebuilding healthy relationships amongenterprises and communities and bioregions, and between investors and the enterprises in which they invest.

Let us set about this work, then, so that whoever it is that comes onto the world stage after Homo economista andHomo consumerista and the Invisible Hand of the marketplace, may, as they exit stage left, come—fully and fearlesslyand wearing whiffs of humus and manure like badges of honor—into view.

In Future Scenarios, permaculture co-originator and leading sustainability innovator DavidHolmgren outlines four scenarios that bring to life the likely cultural, political, agricultural,and economic implications of peak oil and climate change, and the generations-long era of“energy descent” that faces us.

“Scenario planning,” Holmgren explains, “allows us to use stories about the future as a referencepoint for imagining how particular strategies and structures might thrive, fail, or be transformed.”

Future Scenarios depicts four very different futures. Each is a permutation of mild or destructiveclimate change, combined with either slow or severe energy declines. Probable futures, explainsHolmgren, range from the relatively benign Green Tech scenario to the near catastrophicLifeboats scenario.

As Adam Grubb, founder of the influential Energy Bulletin Web site, says, “These aren’t two-dimensional nightmarish scenarios designed to scare people into environmental action. Theyare compellingly fleshed-out visions of quite plausible alternative futures, which delve intoenergy, politics, agriculture, social, and even spiritual trends. What they do help make clearare the best strategies for preparing for and adapting to these possible futures.”

Future Scenarios provides brilliant and balanced consideration of the world’s options and willprove to be one of the most important books of the year.

David Holmgren is best known as the co-originator,with Bill Mollison, of the permaculture concept, following the 1978 publication of their bookPermaculture One. Since then he has writtenPermaculture: Principles and Pathways BeyondSustainability, developed three properties using permaculture principles, and conducted workshopsand courses throughout the world. He shows that asustainable lifestyle is a realistic, attractive, andpowerful alternative to dependent consumerism.Holmgren lives with his partner, Su Dennett, andtheir son, Oliver, at Melliodora, a one-hectare permaculture demonstration site at Hepburn Springs, Central Victoria, Australia.

DEVIL IN THE MILKIllness, Health, and the Politics of A1 and A2 MilkKeith Woodford

Pub Date: April 2009$24.95 US, $31.25 CAN • PB97816035810286 x 9 • 240 pagesHealth/Medical Diseases• National Media• U.S. Radio Tour

This groundbreaking work is the first internationally published book to examine the linkbetween a protein in the milk we drink and a range of serious illnesses, including heart disease, Type 1 diabetes, autism, and schizophrenia.

These health problems are linked to a tiny protein fragment that is formed when we digestA1 beta-casein, a milk protein produced by many cows in the United States and northernEuropean countries. Milk that contains A1 beta-casein is commonly known as A1 milk; milkthat does not is called A2. All milk was once A2, until a genetic mutation occurred somethousands of years ago in some European cattle. A2 milk remains high in herds in much ofAsia, Africa, and parts of Southern Europe. A1 milk is common in the United States, NewZealand, Australia, and Europe.

In Devil in the Milk, Keith Woodford brings together the evidence published in more than100 scientific papers. He examines the population studies that look at the link between con-sumption of A1 milk and the incidence of heart disease and Type 1 diabetes; he explains thescience that underpins the A1/A2 hypothesis; and he examines the research undertaken withanimals and humans. The evidence is compelling: We should be switching to A2 milk.

A2 milk from selected cows is now marketed in parts of the U.S., and it is possible to convert aherd of cows producing A1 milk to cows producing A2 milk.

This is an amazing story, one that is not just about the health issues surrounding A1 milk,but also about how scientific evidence can be molded and withheld by vested interests, andhow consumer choices are influenced by the interests of corporate business.

Keith Woodford is Professor of FarmManagement and Agribusiness at LincolnUniversity in New Zealand. A regular commentator in the news media, he was previously at the University of Queensland(Australia) for 20 years. He lives with his family in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Evidence shows cows’ milk is a link to solving many medical mysteries, from diabetes to autism.

“I believe this is an important book. Critics should think carefullyand avoid knee-jerk reactions.” —Professor Sir John Scott, ProfessorEmeritus of Medicine, University of Auckland

“[A] shattering exposé of the health problems caused by milk andthe efforts of elements in the dairy industry and government tocover them up.” —Jacqueline Steincamp, Healthy Options

“Devil in the Milk is potentially as significant as Carson’s SilentSpring or Nader’s Unsafe at Any Speed. . . . Devil in the Milk issoundly researched. . . . It should be read by every dairy farmerand consumer.” —Alan Robb,The New Zealand Farmer's Weekly

WIND ENERGY BASICSSECOND EDITIONA Guide to Home- and Community-Scale Wind-Energy SystemsPaul Gipe

Pub Date: April 2009$29.95 US, $37.50 CAN • PB97816035803048 x 10 • 224 pagesColor illustrations, charts, and tablesPrevious edition: 9781890132071Renewable Energy

Paul Gipe is internationally recognizedfor his expertise in wind energy. In2008, he was awarded the WorldEnergy Association’s “World WindEnergy Award.” He has been honoredas a “Pioneer” by the World RenewableEnergy Congress and as “Person of theYear” by the American Wind EnergyAssociation. Gipe’s previous books areWind Energy Comes of Age and WindPower: Renewable Energy for Home,Farm, and Business. He lives inBakersfield, California.

Extensively revised and expanded by 70 percent. New topics include:• Urban wind: Does it make sense?• Building-integrated wind: Is it real or not?• Rooftop mounting: Should you avoid it?• New vertical-axis wind turbines: Are they ready?• Fantasy wind turbines: How to spot them • Ducted turbines: Can they deliver?• Community wind: A not-so-new way to harness the wind• Feed-in tariffs: Can they power a renewables revolution?

For the homeowner or community organizer, the essential guide to harnessing wind energy.The availability of clean, renewable power is without question going to be the defining challenge and goal of the 21st century, and wind will lead the way.

Internationally acclaimed wind energy expert Paul Gipe is as soberly critical of past energy mistakes as he is convincingly optimistic about the future. The overwhelming challenge of transforming our world from one of fossil carbon to one of clean power seems daunting atbest—and paralyzingly impractical at worst. Wind Energy Basics offers a solution.

Wind power can realistically not only replace the lion’s share of oil-, coal-, and natural-gas–fired electrical plants in the U.S., but also can add enough extra power capacity to allow for most of the cars in the nation to run on electricity. Gipe explains why such a startlinglystraightforward solution is eminently doable and can be accomplished much sooner thanpreviously thought—and will have the capacity to resuscitate small and regional economies.

Wind Energy Basics offers a how-to for home-based wind applications, with advice on whichwind turbines to choose and which to avoid. He guides wind-energy installers through considerations such as renewable investment strategies and gives cautionary tales of windapplications gone wrong. And for the activist, he suggests methods of prodding federal, state,and provincial governments to promote energy independence.

More than a cookbook, In Late Winter We Ate Pears is a love affair with a culture and a way of life. In vignettes taken from their year in Italy, husband and wife Caleb Barber andDeirdre Heekin offer glimpses of a young, vibrant Italy: of rolling out pizza dough in anancient hilltown at midnight while wild dogs bay in the abandoned streets; of the fogged car windows of an ancient lovers’ lane amid the olive groves outside Prato.

The recipes in In Late Winter We Ate Pears are every bit as delicious as the memories.Selections such as red snapper with fennel sauce, fresh figs with balsamic vinegar and mint,and frangipane and plum tart capture the essence of Italy. Following the tradition of Italiancuisine, the 80 recipes are laid out according to season, to suggest taking advantage of yourfreshest local ingredients.

Whether you are an experienced cook looking for authentic Italian recipes or a beginner wantingto immerse yourself in the romance of a young couple’s culinary adventure, In Late Winter WeAte Pears provides rich sustenance in the best tradition of travel and food writing.

Cheers to Chef Barber and writer Deirdre Heekin for sharing these marvelous recipes fromOsteria Pane e Salute (Pane translates as bread and Salute as health) and for sharing the storyof a most inspired year spent in Italy. In Late Winter We Ate Pears is a testament that breadand health are the things that make a good life.

Recipes and stories from the romantic year in Italy that inspired the acclaimed Osteria Pane e Salute.

“Just right! An inspiring and informative personal quest and a deeply feltjourney into the heart and soul of Italian artisanal cuisine.”—Anthony Bourdain, author of A Cook’s Tour and Kitchen Confidential

with In Late Winter We Ate Pears

For many years, Deirdre Heekin has been creating an unusual, revitalist wine archive of rareand traditional Italian varietals at Osteria Pane e Salute, the nationally celebrated restaurantand wine bar she shares with her chef husband, Caleb Barber. Self-taught in the world ofItalian wines, she is known for her fine-tuned work with scent and taste and her ability topair wines and food in unexpected yet terroir-driven ways.

In Libation, a Bitter Alchemy, a series of linked personal essays, Heekin explores the curiousdevelopment of her nose and palate, her intuitive education and relationship with wine andspirits, and her arduous attempts to make liqueurs and wine from the fruits of her own landin northern New England. The essays follow her as she unearths ruby-toned wines given upby the ghosts of long-gone wine makers from the red soil of Italy, her adoptive land; as sheembarks on a complicated pilgrimage to the home of one of the world’s oldest cocktails,Sazerac, in Katrina-soaked New Orleans; as she attempts a midsummer crafting of a brandymade from inherited roses, the results of an old Sicilian recipe she found in a dusty book-store in Naples.

Musing on spirits from Campari to alkermes, Heekin’s writing is as intoxicating, rich, andcarefully crafted as the wines, liquors, and locales she loves.

Nostalgic and intoxicating, Libation, a Bitter Alchemyexplores the bittersweet magic of developing nose andpalate through experience and place.

Deirdre Heekin has been nominatedfor a Pushcart Prize and is winner ofthe Italo Calvino Award for her fiction.Her food writing appears regularly inGastronomica: The Journal of Tasteand Culture.

Toby Hemenway teaches permacultureand ecological design courses aroundthe world and is on the faculty ofPortland State University. A formergeneticist, Hemenway left the biotechindustry in the 1990s and spent 10years creating and living on a ruralpermaculture homestead in southernOregon. He now lives in Portland,Oregon, where he is developing several urban sustainability sites.

A classic, popular Chelsea Green gardener's reference—revised and also expanded to addressurban and limited-space permaculture.

The first edition of Gaia’s Garden sparked the imagination of America’s home gardeners,introducing permaculture’s central message: Working with Nature, not against her, results in more beautiful, abundant, and forgiving gardens. This extensively revised and expandedsecond edition broadens the reach and depth of the permaculture approach for urban andsuburban growers.

Many people mistakenly think that ecological gardening—which involves growing a wide rangeof edible and other useful plants—can take place only on a large, multiacre scale. As Hemenwaydemonstrates, it’s fun and easy to create a “backyard ecosystem” by assembling communities ofplants that can work cooperatively and perform a variety of functions, including:

• Building and maintaining soil fertility and structure• Catching and conserving water in the landscape• Providing habitat for beneficial insects, birds, and animals• Growing an edible “forest” that yields seasonal fruits, nuts, and other foods

This revised and updated edition also features a new chapter on urban permaculture,designed especially for people in cities and suburbs who have very limited growing space.Whatever size yard or garden you have to work with, you can apply basic permacultureprinciples to make it more diverse, more natural, more productive, and more beautiful.Best of all, once it’s established, an ecological garden will reduce or eliminate most of thebackbreaking work that’s needed to maintain the typical lawn and garden.

How a business can redefine, then find, success.The economic crash of late 2008 is just the latest evidence of the truth that many haveknown for so long: that too much of our modern economy is based on a house of cards. Weneed businesses that not only factor their impact on people and places into their equations forsuccess but also strive to restore the communities and environments in which they operate.How can this be done?

In Living Above the Store, Martin Melaver provides a roadmap for creating such a business. It’snot only a “how to” but a “why to” that challenges business as usual to change.

Living Above the Store brings us into the story of Melaver, Inc., a third-generation, 70-year-oldfamily real estate business, as it evolves toward becoming a thought and product leader in sus-tainable business practices. It is part business management theory and part case study, wheresustainable principles meet sustainable practices, always grounded in day-to-day practice.

Living Above the Store demonstrates how to:

• Adopt a business model that provides for economic success while contributing to society and the environment

• Shape a business culture that is restorative to a workforce by helping employees realize their highest potential

• Leverage an ethos within a business that “ripples outward” to foster restoration of both land and community

• Embrace a notion of limits to growth• Reframe ideas about competition, proprietary knowledge, and business success

Living Above the Store is for readers who care about issues of community and sustainability aswell as for those who want to learn more about how a socially responsible business can firstredefine, and then find, success.

Pub Date: June 2009$29.95 US, $37.50 CAN • PB97816035807797 x 10 • 256 pages • B&W drawingsSustainable Agriculture/Organic Gardening

First published in 1977, this book—from one of America’s most famous and prolific agri-cultural writers—became an almost instant classic among homestead gardeners and smallfarmers. Now fully updated and available once more, Small-Scale Grain Raising offers anentirely new generation of readers the best introduction to a wide range of both commonand lesser-known specialty grains and related field crops, from corn, wheat, and rye tobuckwheat, millet, rice, spelt, flax, and even beans and sunflowers.

More and more Americans are seeking out locally grown foods, yet one of the real stum-bling blocks to their efforts has been finding local sources for grains, which are grownmainly on large, distant corporate farms. At the same time, commodity prices for grains—and the products made from them—have skyrocketed due to rising energy costs andincreased demand. In this book, Gene Logsdon proves that anyone who has access to alarge garden or small farm can (and should) think outside the agribusiness box and learn togrow healthy whole grains or beans—the base of our culinary food pyramid—alongsidetheir fruits and vegetables.

Starting from the simple but revolutionary concept of the garden “pancake patch,”Logsdon opens up our eyes to a whole world of plants that we wrongly assume only theagricultural “big boys” can grow. He succinctly covers all the basics, from planting anddealing with pests, weeds, and diseases to harvesting, processing, storing, and using wholegrains. There are even a few recipes sprinkled throughout, along with more than a little witand wisdom.

Never has there been a better time, or a more receptive audience, for this book. Localvores,serious home gardeners, CSA farmers, and whole-foods advocates—in fact, all people whovalue fresh, high-quality foods—will find a field full of information and ideas in this onceand future classic.

Gene Logsdon is the author of 25 books (andcounting) embracing ecology, art, farming,cultural studies, and nature writing, includingThe Contrary Farmer and Farming at Nature’sPace. He has a weekly newspaper columnand contributes regularly to two quarterlymagazines, Farming and The Draft HorseJournal, and to the Web site OrganicToBe.org.He and his wife, Carol Logsdon, operate anexperimental garden farm in WyandotCounty, Ohio. They have two children andthree grandchildren.

The classic text on raising grain—revised and expandedfor home gardeners and small-scale farmers.

• The what, how, and why of our current, destructive money system

• The what, how, and why of independent, sustainable alternatives

• The long-ignored change that is required to move toward a democratic, steady-state economy

A sweeping view of money—past, present, andfuture—including a plan to democratize the economyand restore the “credit commons.”Like the proverbial fish who doesn’t know what water is, we swim in an economy built onmoney that few of us comprehend, and, most definitely, what we don’t know is hurting us.

Very few people realize that the nature of money has changed profoundly over the past threecenturies, or—as has been clear with the latest global financial crisis—the extent to which it hasbecome a political instrument used to centralize power, concentrate wealth, and subvert populargovernment. On top of that, the economic growth imperative inherent in the present globalmonetary system is a main driver of global warming and other environmental crises.

The End of Money and the Future of Civilization demystifies the subjects of money, banking, andfinance by tracing historical landmarks and important evolutionary shifts that have changed theessential nature of money. Greco’s masterful work lays out the problems and then looks to thefuture for a next stage in money’s evolution that can liberate us as individuals and communitiesfrom the current grip of centralized and politicized money power.

Greco provides specific design proposals and exchange-system architectures for local, regional,national, and global financial systems. He offers strategies for their implementation and outlinesactions grassroots organizations, businesses, and governments will need to take to achieve success.

Ultimately, The End of Money and the Future of Civilization provides the necessary under-standing—for entrepreneurs, activists, and civic leaders—to implement approaches towardmonetary liberation. These approaches would empower communities, preserve democraticinstitutions, and begin to build economies that are sustainable, democratic, and insulatedfrom the financial crises that plague the dominant monetary system.

What is the purpose of life? Some say it's to reproduce, others to glorify God, but behind theseand other proposed purposes lies a scientific purpose. In The Purpose of Life, science writerDorion Sagan and biophysicist Eric D. Schneider lay out the fascinating evidence for life’s nat-ural purpose—its function in an energy-driven cosmos. New evidence shows that the evolutionof life on Earth over the past three-and-a-half billion years has not been random but has a cleardirection, and its direction is related to life's function as a natural system. Indeed, life shares itsfunction—its purpose—with that of certain other complex natural systems. Although theanswer is simple and not exclusive—life may have other purposes—its profound implicationsmay change the way we see ourselves, our relationships to other living beings, and our futureon this shared, energy-driven planet.

Sagan and Schneider provide a striking alternative to both scientific and religious views of thisage-old question. Engaging recent bestsellers such as Rick Warren’s The Purpose-Driven Life andEckhart Tolle’s A New Earth: Finding Your Life's Purpose, The Purpose of Life goes beyond popularscience, weaving literature, philosophy, and spirituality into a highly readable narrative.

Dorion Sagan is theauthor or coauthor of 21books translated into 11languages, includingNotes from the Holoceneand Microcosmos (withLynn Margulis). AHumana Scholar,Lindisfarne Fellow, andrecipient of an EdPress

Award in nonfiction, Sagan has written for The New YorkTimes, Wired, and The New York Times Book Review. He cur-rently resides in Amherst, Massachusetts.

The answer to the grandest philosophical question of alltime requires thinking outside the boxes of conventionalreligious teaching and conventional scientific wisdom.

Eric D. Schneider lives in the mountains of southwestMontana. He is bestdescribed as a biophysi-cist, synthesizing biologyand physics at a fundamen-tal level. He has been chief scientist of the NationalOceanic Administration and director of the

National Marine Quality Laboratory of the U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency.

August 200916WALKING WITH THE GREAT APESJane Goodall, Dian Fossey, Biruté GaldikasSy MontgomeryForeword by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas

Three astounding women scientists have in recent years penetrated the jungles of Africa andBorneo to observe, nurture, and defend humanity’s closest cousins. Jane Goodall has workedwith the chimpanzees of Gombe for nearly 50 years; Dian Fossey died in 1985 defending themountain gorillas of Rwanda; and Biruté Galdikas lives in intimate proximity to the orangutansof Borneo. All three began their work as protégées of the great Anglo-African archeologist LouisLeakey, and each spent years in the field, allowing the apes to become their familiars—and ultimately waging battles to save them from extinction in the wild.

Their combined accomplishments have been mind-blowing, as Goodall, Fossey, and Galdikasforever changed how we think of our closest evolutionary relatives, of ourselves, and of how toconduct good science. From the personal to the primate, Sy Montgomery explores the science,wisdom, and living experience of three of the greatest scientists of the twentieth century.

Sy Montgomery is an author, naturalist, documentary scriptwriter, and radio commentator whohas traveled to some of the world’s most remote wildernesses for her work. She has worked in apit crawling with 18,000 snakes in Manitoba, been hunted by a tiger in India, swum with pinkdolphins in the Amazon, and been undressed by an orangutan in Borneo. She is the author of15 award-winning books, including her national bestselling memoir, The Good Good Pig.Montgomery lives in Hancock, New Hampshire.

Sy Montgomery has already shared with readers her amazing encounters with great apes,man-eating tigers, and pink river dolphins, but her latest muse is an animal whose name and appearance evoke another world altogether. Southeast Asia’s golden moon bear, with its luminous coat, lionlike mane, and Mickey Mouse ears, was unknown to science—untilMontgomery and her colleagues got on the trail at the dawn of the new millennium.

Search for the Golden Moon Bear recounts Montgomery’s quest—fraught with danger and mayhem—to reconstruct an evolutionary record and piece together a living portrait of her little-known subject. This beautiful animal is not just a scientific eureka! It is also a powerful symbol of conservation. Search for the Golden Moon Bear is a field report from the frontiers of science and the ends of the earth, seamlessly weaving together folklore, natural history, and contemporaryresearch into fantastic travelogue.

DRIP IRRIGATION FOR EVERYLANDSCAPE AND ALL CLIMATESSECOND EDITIONRobert Kourik

Pub Date: April 2009$24.95 US, $31.25 CAN • PB978096158484981/2 x 11 • 160 pages • B&W illustrationsOrganic Gardening/Techniques

Drip irrigation is the best way to help any plant flourish and survive tough times, especiallyshort or long droughts. Pick the wrong “stuff” and you easily can feel overwhelmed. RobertKourik’s Drip Irrigation for Every Landscape and All Climates clearly explains how to use lesswater yet increase the yields of vegetables and promote the growth and flowering of allplants—trees, shrubs, and container plants—in any climate, even where it rains irregularly.

In the tradition of the original groundbreaking book, this fully revised edition incorporatesnew information essential for gardeners, including how to manage limited water supplieswith precision and efficiency, without the clutter of hundreds of widgets and gizmos, andthe knowledge is shared in Kourik’s inimitable, friendly, down-to-earth, and easy-to-under-stand style.

Drip Irrigation for Every Landscape and All Climates reveals how to:

• Utilize drip irrigation for everything you grow—trees, shrubs, hanging plants, container plants, and vegetable and flower gardens —and save up to 50 percent of your water compared to sprinklers.

• Use a streamlined configuration of hardware and tubing.

• Choose the best, sturdiest hardware that will last for decades in your home landscape and vegetable garden.

• Pick tubing that has no emitters punched on the outside—these have a tendency to break off—and use this tubing buried beneath the surface to irrigate without losing any water to wind or evaporation.

• Roll out a drip system in a very short period of time, avoiding tedious hours punching in emitters or adding smaller tubing to reach each plant.

• Capture and reuse gray water and cistern water for irrigation.

• Construct a system in which the main parts are effectively hidden or can be simply attached to an existing garden faucet.

Individual projects are carefully detailed and include: how anyone can construct a system byattaching it to an existing garden faucet or the main water supply, constructing larger assem-blies for big gardens, irrigating all sizes of potted plants, easy ways to irrigate a vegetable gar-den, and how to lay out tubing for the best health of trees and shrubs.

During the 1975 California drought,Robert Kourik created a primitive dripsystem, and since then he has continuedto innovate using the latest technologies.He has written 10 instructional booksadvocating sustainable gardening, edible landscaping, and a healthylifestyle, including Roots Demystified. He lives in Occidental, California.

SURVIVING AND THRIVING ON THE LANDHow to Use Your Time and Energy to Run a Successful SmallholdingRebecca Laughton

Pub Date: April 2009$24.95 US, $31.25 CAN • PB97819003222876 x 9 • 256 pages B&W photos throughoutSustainable Living/Agriculture

It’s a dream come true when you finally get a piece of land or join an eco-community and start to plan your sustainable land-based enterprise. But all too often the dream is spoiled by lack ofmoney, stress, exhaustion, and poor time management, and your work and future plans can dis-solve into discord, illness, and poverty. Smallholdings provide food, home, fuel, and employmentfor those who run them and local, seasonal, often organic and ethical food and timber for anexpanding market.

Surviving and Thriving on the Land looks at ways in which projects can be designed that care forthe people involved in them as well as the earth that they are trying to protect. If land-basedecological projects are to offer a realistic solution to the problems we face in the twenty-first century, it is imperative that they be sustainable in terms of human energy. This book offers aframework, backed up by real-life examples, of issues to consider when setting up a new projector for overcoming human-energy–based problems in existing projects.

Rebecca Laughton lived for 4 years at Tinker’s Bubble, an ecological community inSomerset where the residents manage 40 acres of land without the use of fossil fuels.While researching her book, she traveled around France and the UK visiting other land-based projects, and she found that the subject of human energy use within ecological projects had not been addressed adequately. Laughton studied geography at NewcastleUniversity and has an MSC in sustainable agriculture from Wye College, University ofLondon. She lives in the UK.

The first book to look at how to avoid burnout, manage your time,and earn a viable living from the land.

This DVD, whose aim is to inspire people to start their own perma-culture projects, shows how permaculture is practiced in four verydifferent settings: a Hampshire back garden belonging to the editorsof Permaculture Magazine, including fruit trees, vegetables, bees,chickens, and ducks; a City Challenge project in Bradford close to ahousing estate with 10,000 residents, tackling the problems ofunemployment, environmental awareness, and backyard food grow-ing; a community co-op in Devon, which involves a café, allot-ments, and local composting scheme; and a small farm in the Forestof Dean where innovative marketing schemes ensure a close linkbetween producer and consumer, including meat production, a veg-etable box scheme, and locally produced charcoal.

Some 45 years ago, the late Robert Hart had a vision of planting asmall food-producing forest that could fulfill the needs of a healthy dietand at the same time create a beautiful and ecologically sound environ-ment. Having explored Hart’s practical and philosophical ideas, thisfilm goes on to look at two other projects inspired by the principles offorest gardening and perennial vegetable growing.

On a windy plot in Cornwall, Ken Fern has set up Plants for a Future,where he grows 1,500 species of useful perennial plants (and maintainsinformation on a further 5,500 in his database). And a few miles northof London, Mike and Julia Guerra have created a tiny garden as aninspiration to anyone wanting to “act locally.”

Anyone looking for small, practical solutions to world problems willfind this DVD both useful and inspiring.

Much has been written about neighborhoods as the organizing principle in community develop-ment. This is where concerns about quality of life are tangible and a sense of pride is easily estab-lished. As a consequence, initiatives designed to work at the neighborhood level have great poten-tial to capture peoples’ imaginations and sustain participation. Neighborhood initiatives are alsoattractive because they awaken a sense of community.

The Livable Neighborhood program is based on a state-of-the-art understanding of what ittakes to change individual and group behavior. It’s easy to implement. It’s enjoyable to takepart in. Neighborhoods that follow the simple instructions will make themselves safer,healthier, quieter, prettier, friendlier, greener, more economical, and better places to raisekids. Its purpose is to help citizens take the steps they can on their own while at the sametime interacting with local government as efficiently as possible.

Nature

A book that earned Sy Montgomery her status as one of the most celebrated wildlife writersof our time, Spell of the Tiger brings readers to the Sundarbans, a vast tangle of mangroveswamp and tidal delta that lies between India and Bangladesh. It is the only spot on earthwhere tigers routinely eat people—swimming silently behind small boats at night to dragaway fishermen, snatching honey collectors and woodcutters from the forest. But, unlikeother parts of Asia, where tigers are rapidly being hunted to extinction, tigers in theSundarbans are revered. With the skill of a naturalist and the spirit of a mystic, Montgomeryreveals the delicate balance of Sundarbans life, explores the mix of worship and fear thatoffers tigers unique protection there, and unlocks some surprising answers about why peopleat risk of becoming prey might consider their predator a god.

Nature

When Sy Montgomery ventured into the Amazon to unlock the mysteries of the little-known pink dolphins, she found ancient whales that plied the Amazon River at dawn anddusk, swam through treetops in flooded forests, and performed underwater ballets with theirflexible bodies. But she soon found out that to know the botos, as the dolphins are locallycalled, you must also know the people who live among them. And so in Journey of the PinkDolphins, Montgomery—part naturalist, part poet, part Indiana Jones—winds her waythrough watery tributaries and riverside villages, searching for botos and hearing the tales oflocals who believe these ethereal dolphins are shape-shifters—creatures that emerge from thewater as splendidly dressed men or women only to enchant their human onlookers, capturetheir souls, and then carry them away to Encante, an underwater world.

Environmental Politics

“A gripping new book.” —The Economist

From tainted pet food to toxic toys, Americans can thank the successful lobbying efforts of theU.S. chemical industry for the secret ingredients in everyday products that have been linked torising rates of infertility, endocrine system disruptions, neurological disorders, and cancer.

While the U.S. Congress stalls in the face of these dangers, the European Union has chosen toact. Strict consumer-safety regulations have forced multinationals to manufacture safer productsfor European consumers, while lower U.S. standards allow them to continue selling unsafeproducts to Americans. Schapiro’s exposé shows that short of strong government action, theUnited States will lose not only its ability to protect citizens from environmental hazards butalso, as economic priorities shift, whatever claim it has to commercial supremacy.

In Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What’s at Stake for American Power,investigative journalist Mark Schapiro takes the reader to the front lines of global corporateand political power, where tectonic battles are being waged that will determine the physicaland economic health of our children and ourselves.

Kempf deftly illuminates the links between globalecology and global economy, describing the alarming disparity between the millions ofengaged citizens around the world who are trying to do right by the planet—recognizing that we’re all in the same boat—and the world’s economic elites, who continue to benefit byplundering the environment because they have access to “lifeboats” that insulate them fromthe resulting catastrophes.

In the years following her role as the lead author of the international bestseller Limits toGrowth—the first book to show the consequences of unchecked growth on a finite planet—Donella Meadows remained a pioneer of environmental and social analysis until her untimelydeath in 2001.

Meadows’s newly released manuscript, Thinking in Systems, is a concise and crucial bookoffering insight for problem solving on scales ranging from the personal to the global. Editedby the Sustainability Institute’s Diana Wright, this essential primer brings systems thinkingout of the realm of computers and equations and into the tangible world, showing readershow to develop the systems-thinking skills that thought leaders across the globe considercritical for 21st-century life.

Some of the biggest problems facing the world—war, hunger, poverty, and environmentaldegradation—are essentially system failures. They cannot be solved by fixing one piece inisolation from the others, because even seemingly minor details have enormous power toundermine the best efforts of too-narrow thinking.

Although readers will learn the conceptual tools and methods of systems thinking, the heart ofthe book is grander than methodology. Donella Meadows was known as much for nurturingpositive outcomes as she was for delving into the science behind global dilemmas. She remindsreaders to pay attention to what is important, not just what is quantifiable, to stay humble,and to stay a learner.

In a world growing ever more complicated, crowded, and interdependent, Thinking inSystems helps readers avoid confusion and helplessness, the first step toward finding proactiveand effective solutions.

“Thinking in Systems is required reading for anyone hoping to run a successfulcompany, community, or country. Learning how to think in systems is now partof change-agent literacy. And this is the best book of its kind.”—Hunter Lovins, founder and President of Natural Capital Solutions and coauthor ofNatural Capitalism: Creating the Next Industrial Revolution

Could there be anything more urgently needed than this simple prescription, offered by aninvestor and philanthropist when he first learned about Slow Money?

Inquiries into the Nature of Slow Money presents the path for bringing money back down toearth—philosophically, strategically, and pragmatically—and with an entrepreneurial spiritthat is informed by decades of work by the thousands of CEOs, investors, grant-makers, foodproducers, and consumers who are seeding the restorative economy.

The months and years ahead will surely see a flood of books proposing micro- and macro-economic fixes to the financial crises of the day. Inquiries into the Nature of Slow Money brings a different vision—a meta-economic vision, looking above the top line and below the bottomline, a new way of seeing what is going on in the soil of the economy.

The soil of the economy? Bringing money back down to earth?

This is the path toward a financial system that serves people and place as much at it servesindustry sectors and markets. To discover this path and to begin to walk down it, that is themission of Slow Money.

Woody Tasch is chairman of Investors’Circle, a nonprofit network of angel investors,venture capitalists, foundations, and familyoffices that, since 1992, has facilitated theflow of $130 million to 200 early-stage companies and venture funds dedicated tosustainability. He is president of the newlyformed NGO Slow Money. Woody was formerly treasurer of the Jessie Smith NoyesFoundation. He was founding chairman ofthe Community Development Venture CapitalAlliance, which supports venture investing ineconomically disadvantaged regions. Helives in northern New Mexico.

Author Riki Ott, a rare combination of commercial salmon “fisherma’am” and PhD marinebiologist, describes firsthand the impacts of oil companies’ broken promises when the ExxonValdez spilled most of its cargo and despoiled thousands of miles of shore. Ott illustrates instirring fashion the oil industry’s 20-year trail of pollution and deception that predated thetragic 1989 spill and delves deep into the disruption to the fishing community of Cordovaduring the following 19 years. In vivid detail, she describes the human trauma coupled inex-tricably with that of the sound’s wildlife and its long road to recovery.

Her human story, varied background, professional training, and activist heart lead readers tothe root of the problem: a clash of human rights and corporate power embedded in law andsmall-town life.

We live in an oil-dependent world, arriving at this level of dependency in a very shortspace of time by treating petroleum as if it were in infinite supply. Most of us avoidthinking about what happens when oil runs out (or becomes prohibitively expensive),but The Transition Handbook shows how the inevitable and profound changes ahead canhave a positive outcome. These changes can lead to the rebirth of local communities thatwill grow more of their own food, generate their own power, and build their own housesusing local materials. They can also encourage the development of local currencies tokeep money in the local area. With little proactive thinking at the governmental level,communities are taking matters into their own hands and acting locally. If your town isnot a transition town, this upbeat guide offers you the tools for starting the process.

Los Llanos—the rain-leached, eastern savannas of war-ravaged Colombia—are among themost brutal environments on Earth and an unlikely setting for one of the most hopefulenvironmental stories ever told. Here, in the late 1960s, a young Colombian developmentworker named Paolo Lugari wondered if the nearly uninhabited, infertile llanos could bemade livable for his country’s growing population. He had no idea that nearly four decadeslater his experiment would be one of the world’s most celebrated examples of sustainable living: a permanent village called Gaviotas.

Gabriel García Márquez has called Paolo Lugari “Inventor of the World.” Lugari himself hassaid that Gaviotas is not a utopia: “Utopia literally means ‘no place.’ We call Gaviotas a topia,because it’s real.” Relive their story with this special 10th-anniversary edition of Gaviotas,complete with a new afterword by the author describing how Gaviotas has survived and pro-gressed during the past decade.

Thoroughly revised with an expanded focus on employee ownership and workplace democracy,Companies We Keep celebrates the idea that when employees share in the rewards as well as theresponsibility for the decisions they make, better decisions result. This is an especially timelytopic. Most of the baby boomer generation—the owners of millions of American businesses—will retire within the next two decades. Projections call for 750,000 ownership transitions in2009. Employee ownership is gathering steam as businesses change hands, and Abrams exam-ines some of the many ways this is done.

Companies We Keep is structured around eight principles—from “Sharing Ownership” and“Cultivating Workplace Democracy” to “Thinking Like Cathedral Builders” and“Committing to the Business of Place”—that Abrams has discovered in the 32 years since hecofounded South Mountain Company on the island of Martha’s Vineyard. Together, theseprinciples reveal communities of enterprise as a potent force of change that can—and will—improve the way Americans do business.

Her search took her around the globe, where she encountered the longing toretrieve sacred female wisdom among the women she met. Gail’s poetic and heartfelt story isfor anyone who has ever struggled to build and sustain an interior life in our driven and fast-paced society—and for mothers and daughters everywhere.

Open Spaces Sacred Places is a book that dramatically demonstrates how nature has the powerto heal and unify in our increasingly frenetic 21st-century world. It is a series of inspirationalstories told through the voices of “firesouls,” those passionate and persistent people who havebrought communities together to create public areas of respite. The book depicts a wide variety of sacred places. These public green spaces are places of peace and refreshment, wherepeople can tap into their own deep wisdom and find an antidote for the stressful, divisive,and isolating effects of life in today’s complex world.

“There isn’t a woman alive who won’t be able to relate to this lyrical,poignant, and beautifully written story. Like Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray,Love, Gail’s story will help women gain insight and wisdom that not onlywill help heal their relationship with their mothers but could, quite frankly,help save their lives! Bless you, Gail, for doing work that heals all of us.”—from the foreword by Christiane Northrup, MD, author of Women's Bodies,Women's Wisdom and Mother-Daughter Wisdom

“The healing power of nature—so important to physical, mental, and spiritual well-being and so undervalued in contemporary medicine—is thecentral theme of this wonderful book. The authors show us how peopleeverywhere can work to create public green spaces that soothe andrefresh and help heal communities and the world. Open Spaces SacredPlaces is an inspired call to action.”—Dr. Andrew Weil, best-selling author
