Available in other countries, see author's web site www.andysinger.com/. CARtoons attempts to focus attention on transport -- a critical environmental issue that is rarely discussed in a comprehensive way. CARtoons points out how transportation is connected to other environmental issues like land use and factory farming. Unlike many other environmental books, CARtoons tries to be entertaining as well as informative. It uses a unique mix of images, words, humor and seriousness, delivered in a straightforward manner that is accessible to the average person. It also provides alternative transport activists with images, ideas and resources. Read Bob's review of this book. |
| The Artemesian Mandate by Kate Saundby
Published by Double Dragon e-books Formats: CD-ROM, Rocket, Mac Stuffit, HTML ISBN 1-894841-20-4 Price $US4.95 Available in Rocket eBook, Adobe, Microsoft Reader, hiebook, Palm eBook and CD-Rom editions The Artemesian Mandate is Book 6 of the Nublis series. It was inspired by a real life fight to save a unique wildlife refuge destruction by a scheduled major commercial airport during the late 1960's and early 1970's. This entertaining SF Fantasy novel draws a clear distinction between the white and the black hats. Underlying the fanciful allegory, the story conveys a serious and thoughtful message about the dangers of this kind of secret alliance between self-serving government officials and greedy land developers who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. While that airport fight was successful, the war itself continues to this day and there is no substitute for continued vigilance. Read about Kate |

Originally published by the now defunct Crossroads Publishing. About to be re-issued by Hard Shell Word Factory. Prometheus is a look into the future if man does not address the current excess and consumerism of the 20th century. The book also points out what stands in the way of man working together to create a sustainable lifestyle for all - in part it is the diverse cultures of the world and ethnic hostilities. In the astonishing final chapter of this book Mr. Domokos reveals the largest obstacle to world harmony. View the cover |
