as our new release of the week: Worldchanging: A User’s Guide for the 21st Century. By Alex Steffen (Sterling Books). Steffen and an army of contributors have compiled a roadmap for a future that is ‘bright, green, free and tough.” Business Week says WorldChanging “reads like a smart, hip mini-encyclopedia of what’s new and what’s next in green technologies and earth-conscious ideas.” Publishers Weekly gave it a a starred review: “This 600-page companion to the eco-friendly website of the same name (www.worldchanging.com) is chock-a-block with information about what is going on right now to create an environmentally and economically sustainable future-and what stands in opposition. Along the way, editor Steffen and his team make the stakes perfectly clear: ‘Oil company experts debate whether we will effectively run out of oil in twenty years or fifty, but the essential point remains: if you’re under thirty, you can expect to see a post-oil civilization in your lifetime.’”
