It Takes a Village: And Other Lessons Children Teach Us Hillary Rodham Clinton paperback
hardbackFor more than twenty-five years, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton has made children her passion and her cause. This book chronicles her quest to discover how we can make our society into the kind of village that enables children to grow into able, caring, resilient adults. It is time to acknowledge that we have to make some changes for our children's sake. By looking honestly at the condition of our children, by understanding a wealth of new information , and, most important, by listening to the children themselves, we can begin a more fruitful discussion about their needs. By sifting the past for clues to the structures that once bound us together, by looking with an open mind at what other countries and cultures do for their children that we do not, and by identifying places where our village is flourishing, we can begin to create for our children the better tomorrow they deserve. |
Earth in the Balance: Ecology and the Human Spirit Al Gore paperbackA passionate defender of the environment for more than twenty years, Al Gore is convinced that the engines of human civilization have brought us to the brink of catastrophe. In this brave and provocative book, Gore argues that only a radical rethinking of our relationship with nature can save the earth's ecology for future generations. The roots of this crisis reach into every aspect of society, and Gore's forceful analysis of where we've gone wrong ranges across politics, history, science, economics, psychology, and religion. Gore uses the metaphor of a dysfunctional family to show how human civilization must heal itself -- psychologically and spiritually -- before we can heal our ailing environment. Only a worldwide mobilization can save us from disaster. In a brilliant and comprehensive plan for action, Gore addresses issues that involve not only the earth's ecology but also population trends, appropriate technology, and environmental education. |

How to Stop Believing in War: Religion and the Politics of War and Peace Will Whittle paperbackWhen we believe something, we make it true for ourselves. Key figures controlling our war armaments policy believe in inevitable war and Armageddon. How does this affect us? This book describes with clarity and compassion the self-fulfilling nature of Christian fundamentalist belief in war. It shows that when our leaders are influenced by such belief, we are all afected by it. When we expect eventual military confrontation, it affects our preparations of armaments. What is responsible for our present evolution toward self-destruction? At its deepest level, the answer can only be that this is what we have chosen for ourselves. How to Stop Believing in War looks precisely at one of the major causes of our gravest problem and suggests the shift that can change the world perspective. |
