New Book: WorldChanging

oooh, cool. there's a new book comming out (or rather just out) called Worldchanging: A Users Guide for the 21st Century. The summary of the book states "From consumer consciousness to a new vision for industry; non-toxic homes to refugee shelters; microfinance to effective philanthropy; socially responsible investing to starting a green business; citizen media to human rights; ecological economics to climate change, this is the most comprehensive, cutting-edge overview to date of what's possible in the near future -- if we decide to make it so."

I think a lot of the information is taken from (and it is layed out based on) the WorldChaning website. it has 7 sections: stuff, shelter, cities, community, business, politics, and planet. i think i'll get it. adn hopefully i get a chance to read it relatively soon. after i finish Michael Polland's excellent, fact-packed, intersting, terrifying: Omnivores Dilema and a book called Becoming Vegan and the list of fun novels i want to read. Here's a link to the new book: WorldChanging
