The magic of Findhorn (A Bantam Book)

3 reviews
Paul Hawken

Bantam Books, 1976

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".

Natural Capitalism: Creating the Next Industrial Revolution

Back Bay Books, 2000

Adam Smith, move over
Whew! Adam Smith, move over. NATURAL CAPITALISM is the bible which ought to unite environmentalists, socialists and free-market capitalists in a meaningful shift to sustainable systems. It offers a breathtaking overview of the technological and methodological fixes now available -- and in the authors' view, imminent -- together with ways to get there from here. (This one actually left me feeling ...

A message of hope for the future
It almost always happens, when I speak in telephone conferences with university classes or with larger groups, that someone will ask if I have hope for the future and, if so, why. My answer has always been an intuitive one, the intuition being that in the last fifteen years or so awareness of the perils we face in the immediate future has expanded explosively-and that this in itself provides ...

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 ...

Henry Holt & Co, 1983

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 ...

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

4 reviews
Warren Karlenzig

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 ...

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 ...

Seven Tomorrows

Paul Hawken

Bantam USA, 1982

a very valuable model
It is strange to think that we can choose our future in global terms, although we take it for granted in our individual and family life. In fact we seek as much control over our lives as we can, as we don't like being interrupted by unscheduled meetings, unannounced power cuts or breakdowns in public services. On a global basis we seem to accept major disruptions and our lack of control as a ...

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 ...

A Road Map for Natural Capitalism
Amory B. Lovins, L. Hunter Lovins, ...

Harvard Business Review, 1999

No one would run a business without accounting for its capital outlays. Yet most companies overlook one major capital component--the value of the earth's ecosystem services. It is a staggering omission; recent calculations place the value of the earth's total ecosystem services--water storage, atmosphere regulation, climate control, and so on--at $33 trillion a year. Not accounting for those costs has led to waste on a grand scale. But now a few ...
