"All technologies should be assumed guilty until proven innocent."
The `Neo-Luddite' position, as it has been called, the view that evils of modern technology vastly outweigh the benefits, that technology is leading us in a destructive direction, that the benefits of technology are greatly over-hyped and over-sold, that our attitude and approach toward technology and new technological `advances' is at best naïve, at worst suicidal, and long overdue for ...

The Case Against the Global Economy: And for a Turn Toward the Local

Sierra Club Books, 1996

More relevant than ever - try and find a copy!
I recently pulled this book back off my shelf and had a good look at it again while having a (polite) knock-down drag-out with Dr. John Lott, who recently published "Freedomnomics." The essays are all 12 years old now, of course, but seriously could have been written yesterday. Everything the critics predicted has begun to come to pass. In 2001, the author of "Naked Economics" (published 2002) ...

The Case Against the Global Economy

22 reviews

Earthscan Ltd, 2001

43 Essays about the "global economy"
I first read this book in 1997 not too long after it was first published and again just recently, it is more relevant now because things described are coming down in the world. Some essays cover such topics as trade, the third world, explanations of GATT & NAFTA, mass layoffs in labor, the food supply & genetically modified organisms. Other writers question whether or not the idea of ...

Eco-Forestry: The Art and Science of Sustainable Forest Use

1 review

New Society Publishers, 1997

Ecological Forest Use Will Save the Forests and Jobs
The book is a valuable guide to how humans can live, work, and play in forest ecosystems in a way that does not destroy forests. The authors have compiled a wide range of articles most of which were originally published by the Ecoforestry Institute in their Journal of Ecoforestry. The articles lay the philosophical base upon which ecoforestry is premised. Ecological forestry seems to be the ...

Alternatives to Economic Globalization

Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2002

Essential reading
The authors of this incisive book issue a timely and essential wake-up call to all those who consider economic globalisation to be a positive, inevitable and irreversible process. The authors' clear and articulate arguments illustrate the extent to which a small rich and powerful corporate elite have pulled the wool over the eyes of the rest of us in selling a corporate model of global trade ...

Tounge-in-cheek
Professor Jerry Mander's tounge-in-cheek 'review' of President Clinton's approach to President of The United States is an entertaining and enlightening view of today's politics. Very right-winged, the book is chock full of tidbits from the controversial Starr Report as well as pertinent stories, facts, and related conjecture. Not for the faint-of-heart or liberal minded or those others in ...

Fireside, 1971

The Most Varied and Entertaining Paper Airplane book
This was my firt paper airplane book and I have since bought quite a few. It is my favorite and I still refrence it for new ideas. Its designs are more varied than books with designs by just one author. The written portion is also very clever. It makes me hope for another Internations Paper Airplane Contest.

Alternatives to Economic Globalization: A Better World Is Possible

5 reviews

Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2004

Making Sense of Globalisation
Globalisation is one of the most complex and influential movements of our time. Driven by major corporations in the West, it seeks to operate financial and commercial transactions to the benefit of all humans. In practice, there are few winners except the transnational corporations themselves. Having monopolised markets and financial institutions, corporations have also drawn up legal procedures ...

Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television

Jerry Mander

Harper Perennial, 1978

Reality TV may be the biggest sham every produced for our viewing pleasure
This is an important book because it outlines a cause to so many problems, that is so pervasive it goes unnoticed by the vast majority of people. Television was only introduced in South Africa in 1975, as it happens the year I was born, because the Apartheid government saw a threat to itself loosing control. It would be fascinating to know who finally made the convincing argument to get the ...
