| I recently got a copy of World Changing, a biggish book edited by Alex Steffen, published in 2006 by Harry N. Abrams, Inc.
It is good for bringing a person up to date with the environmental and social thinking of 'Generation Next' (Steffen was born in 1968).
The content is intgelligent and informed and ranges through environmental issues and responses of all sorts. A lot of stuff on technologies, networking, places, projects, business. It's an eye-opener, even for someone like myself who has been involved for a long time.
Some of the info can be put into practice in your own home or personal life. Other stuff requires working with other people in an intentional way, or is happening on the other side of the globe.
I realize that, in one sense, 'a book is just a book'. And I'm sure this book will have its critics... but it will be interesting and useful to hear or read what the critics have to say.
Maybe the most important thing about this book for me has been the insight into the planetary perspective of concerned & engaged people in the high-school to early 30s age range.
