Get it now, no need to think twice
I'm pretty sure that after you've read this book, you'll feel the way I do: that this in the one book that everyone in the world should read. If there is a more eye-opening book on the same topic than this one out there, I have yet to read it, but it doesn't matter. That's because this book will do a sufficiently good job at shedding our ignorance about the most important, most dangerous issues ...

Growing a Business
Paul Hawken

Simon & Schuster, 1987

This is a book about growing a business, with all that the term "growing" implies about paying attention to the world around you, learning from others, and changing yourself. You know more about starting a business than you think you do. Much of what you will read in this book will not match up with the conventional wisdom. This book contains straight talk about what works and what doesn't by people who are in small and medium-sized businesses ...

Paul Hawken

Blackstone Audio Inc., 2007

A book full of hope
This is a wonderfully documented guide about groups working for social justice and for bringing balance and restoring our planet's seriously damaged environment. Among many issues, Paul Hawken tells us that fighting for those important objectives, ideology or partisan politics play a secondary role, because civilization survival is on the balance and people's direct involvement is vital. ...

How Green Is Your City? The SustainLane U.S. City Rankings

New Society Publishers, 2007

Some pleasant surprises!
This book is beautifully laid out, with all the criteria explained for each city. Several cities were ranked higher than I expected, due to my lack of knowledge of their "green" progress. If you want to move to where it's safe (disaster-wise), you can find it here. Or if your main thing is great air quality or any of the other rankings, there's a city for you. I think it is more than a ...

Simon and Schuster, 1987

Business is about practice
1. Tire of spending too much time looking for natural foods, Hawken starts Boston's first natural food store. In the first year, the company was grossing $300 and it was fun. "As the years rolled by, the company made money, lost it, hired hundreds of employees, bought railroad cars, opened stores and warehouses on both coasts, set up wholesale and manufacturing facilities, flirted with ...

The Magic Of Findhorn
Paul Hawken

Harper & Row Publisher, 1979

In Findhorn, they grow 40-pound cabbages, 8 foot delphiniums, and roses that bloom in the snow. What is the source of this spectacular success? Experts have concluded that there must be some vital unknown at work, some extraordinarily powerful Factor X. What is this X? And why has this garden of plants now become a garden of people who-like the plants-flourish and visibly glow? Now, Paul Hawken, who went as a skeptic, tells us why: "Findhorn may ...

Back Bay Books, 2000

an optimistic vision of the future
I am about halfway through this now and I find the book very engaging and not difficult to read. I do agree that the current edition is dated. Kyoto costs too much? 80% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050 is a pipe dream? This book will go a long way to persuading you that we will meet that target and more before 2050 and *make* money. The compelling question is - why aren't we further ...

Harper and Row, Publishers, 1975

A book Well Worth Reading
I first read The magic of Findhorn about 20years ago. For me the book tells of courage and faith. Courage to live a lifestyle out of the "norm". Faith to understand that the Creator will provide; will allow "Cabbages to grow out of the sand,where vegtables have never grown".

HarperCollins Publishers (Australia) Pty Ltd, 1984

We are in an economy that requires more dept to survive but whose ability to sustain the debt in declining
1. The confidence game of debt and capital. The cost of capital will remain high. Communism failed because it allocated capital in unnecessary factories, faulty inventions, and the overproduction of goods - misallocating funds and bring no benefit to the economy. During inflation the value of money declines. Inflation represents the cost of capital. As price rises, the value of money ...

Published in 1982, Relevant Today and Proven with Time
I am finding that many of the books from the 1970's and 1980's that focused on Limits to Growth, the global reach of multinational corporations, the dangers of centralized financial power, are all becoming accutely relevant now. They were a quarter century before the mainstream, and are now ready to be accepted and acted on by at least 80 million in the USA alone. This is such a book. It ...
