Wild Law: A Manifesto for Earth Justice, Second Edition
 |
Cormac Cullinan shows that the survival of the community of life on Earth (including humans) requires us to fundamentally alter our understanding of the nature and purpose of law and governance, rather than merely change laws.
“Every now and then, an idea emerges that helps the human species to evolve.Wild Law is one such idea and is brilliantly explained in this book. Cormac Cullinan leads us toward a new relationship with Mother Earth—just in time.” —Maude Barlow, activist, co-founder of the Blue Planet Project and author of Blue Covenant: The Global Water Crisis

Diary of an Eco-Outlaw: An Unreasonable Woman Breaks the Law for Mother Earth
 |
As George Bernard Shaw once said, “All progress depends on unreasonable women.” And in Diary of an Eco-Outlaw, the eminently unreasonable Wilson delivers ano-holds-barred account of how she—a fourth-generation shrimper, former boat captain, and mother of five—took a turn at midlife, unable to stand by quietly as she witnessed abuses of people and the environment.
“An unstoppable tale of true bravery . . . This book will shake the ground beneath your feet.” —Janisse Ray, author of Pinhook

Climate Solutions: A Citizen’s Guide
Explains in clear and simple language what proposed climate policies will do—and what they won’t do. A simple guide that demystifies environmental policies being shaped in the coming years, as well as who is behind each proposal, their potential effects, who would pay for them, and who would profit.
“This citizen’s guide demystifies climate policy so that you can play an active role in forming it. We can’t wait any longer, and we can’t get it wrong.” —Bill McKibben, from the Foreword
Reinventing Fire: Bold Business Solutions for the New Energy Era
“My friend Amory Lovins knows that the most important question of the 21st century is the ‘how’ question—how we turn good ideas into working solutions. Reinventing Fire is a wise, detailed, and comprehensive blueprint for gathering the best existing technologies for energy use and putting them to work right now to create jobs, end our dependence on climate-changing fossil fuels, and unleash the enormous economic potential of the coming energy revolution.”—President Bill Clinton
