THE CASE AGAINST THE
GLOBAL ECONOMY
Jerry Mander & Edward Goldsmith
Sierra Club Books
43 chapters by the
likes of
Jeremy Rifkin, Vandana Shiva, Ralph Nader and
Wendell
Barry outlining why the new free trade
agreements are bad
for people, disastrous for the environment,
and
quite possibly fatal to
democracy.
some
quotes:
"It is important to
realize that
the new free trade agreements were designed
and promoted
by businesses for whom environmental
regulations are no
more than costs that interfere with
profits....the very
word environmentappears nowhere in
the mandate of
GATT. . ."-Edward Goldsmith
"It must
surely be a
mistake to adopt an economic policy that
makes you rich if
you eliminate your national workforce and
that bankrupts
you if you continue to employ your own
people." - James
Goldsmith
ANAM CARA
John O'Donohue
A lovely piece
of writing and guide to the Celtic Soul,
which is more about language than anything.
"It is strange to be here. .
."
DRAWING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE
BRAIN - Betty Edwards
This will never go
out of print! Simply the best book on drawing
there is - even if you "can't
draw."
WRITING THE NATURAL WAY -
Gabriele Lusser Rico
Here is the writer's
equivalent to Drawing on the Right Side of
the Brain. It's about the very satisfying
pursuit of developing creative writing skills
- not on the mechanics of publishing or the
"business" of
writing.
VISIONS
Michio Kaku
The
anti-nuclear nuclear physicist reviews
present scientific trends and speculates on
the world we're creating. I also recommend
Dr. Kaku's radio show, which is carried on
Pacifica Radio stations.
PROGRESS IN
IRISH
by Mairead Ni Ghrada
. . . and
if you can't pronounce her name, yu
need this book. I am particularly
fond of this one because it is small and
slim. It fits in my purse so that I can
forget to study my Gaelic wherever I
go!
