Alternatives had a call for submissions for their Second Annual Books Issue. You can check the link here for the full list, but here are titles that looked like fun:
Christopher Mark O’Brien Fermenting Revolution: How to Drink Beer and Save the World
Summary: O’Brien reveals how “beer activists” around the globe are leading the sustainability movement.
Robert Engelman More: Population, Nature, and What Women Want
Summary: The three way dance between population, women’s autonomy and the natural world is as old as humanity itself.
Raj Patel Stuffed and Starved
Summary: An investigation into the “haves” feeding off the “have-nots,” and a compelling look at how we all suffer the consequences of a food system cooked to a corporate recipe.
Mark Anielski The Economics of Happiness: Building Genuine Wealth
Summary: Economist Mark Anielski has developed a new and practical economic model called Genuine Wealth.
I of course requested these two:
Jeff Goodell Big Coal: The Dirty Secret Behind America’s Energy Future
Peter Dauvergne The Shadows of Consumption: Consequences for the Global Environment
I doubt I will read these, but feel free to tell me about them:
Christopher C. Swan Electric Water: The Emerging Revolution in Water and Energy
John Knechtel, ed.Fuel
Robert L. Evans Fuelling Our Future: An Introduction to Sustainable Energy
Happy reading!
