God, Job And The Scale Of Creation
BY BILL MCKIBBEN In The Comforting Whirlwind, acclaimed environmentalist and writer Bill McKibben turns to the biblical book of Job and its awesome depiction of creation to demonstrate our need to embrace a bold new paradigm for living if we hope to reverse the current trend of ecological destruction. With reference to the consequences of our poorly considered and self-centered environmental practices-global warming, ozone degradation, deforestation-McKibben combines modern science and timeless biblical wisdom to make the case that growth and economic progress are not only undesirable but deadly.

The Wealth Of Communities And The Durable Future - Paperback
BY BILL MCKIBBEN In this powerful and provocative manifesto, Bill McKibben offers the biggest challenge in a generation to the prevailing view of our economy. Deep Economy makes the compelling case for moving beyond "growth" as the paramount economic ideal and pursuing prosperity in a more local direction, with regions producing more of their own food, generating more of their own energy, and even creating more of their own culture and entertainment.

The Case For A More Joyful Christmas
BY BILL MCKIBBEN Many dread the approach of the holidays, a season that should be the most relaxed, intimate, joyful time of year. McKibben shows how to rethink Christmastime, so that our obsession with present-buying becomes less important than the many other possible traditions & celebrations. Working with their churches, Bill and his colleagues found people were hungry for a more joyful Christmas. Trying to limit the money they spent at Christmas to about $100 per family was a spur to creativity - and an anchor against the onslaught of commercials & catalogs that try to say Christmas is only Christmas if it's store-bought. McKibben shows us how to return to a simpler, more enjoyable holiday.
