New to me facts from biology.

Revisado: 09-27-24

I liked learning about how biological systems work, so amazing. I thought it should have been more critical of GMO's.

Inspiring

Revisado: 09-08-24

I wanted to honor Noam Chomsky because he is now disabled. As a life long activist this book was a gift to me. It's full of important historical facts, examples to copy and a can do attitude about building a way free of corporate domination of our media, democracy, economy and culture. Now it's up to us let's do it!

New facts and feelings about plants

Revisado: 07-13-24

I'm a long time plant lover. This book is amazing in showing us ways our sister beings, our elders communicate and solve problems. I think this deeper look will renew our scrapy struggle for a climate safer future and a nuclear weapons free world.

Thanks for Affermation

Revisado: 10-31-22

My life as a back-to-the-land homesteader, biologist and social change activist gave me so many places to resonate with and be inspired by this book.

A book filled with beauty and a call to quiet the forces of greed, scarcity and fear in our society.

I'm ready to join Robin Wall Kimmerer in being nonviolent warriors in creating a society of sharing and caring. Finding powerful and creative ways to put profit priorities in the dunghill of history.

Very sad + Inspiring

Revisado: 10-19-22

With Iran in revolution now this early 1900's history of Iran's fight for constitutional democracy was sad and inspiring. Doubly interesting to me because my grandparents, Annie and Samule Wilson, are part of the story.

Sometimes I had trouble keeping track of the various Iranian heroes and villains but I appreciated the amazing amount of research that allowed the telling of this story.
The mix of Russian, British and US domination combined with US idealism also seems current.

Family & Tenacity

Revisado: 07-05-21

I liked the understanding of mycorrhizal mediated communication. I was super inspired where Suzanne Simard finds the strength of her convictions to stand up to the establishment men. I want to find an equally brave voice to stand up and be outspoken for my creation of eco lifestyles. This book is a gift of understanding and inspiration.

Revolution by Persawtion

Revisado: 02-17-21

Helped affirm and expand a picture for my life's work of building a radically new way.
As part of the hippie / beatnik back to the land revolte I've been able to practice small scale regenerative and redistributive ways of life. This book deepened my understanding of where "there is no alternative" of Margaret Thacher came from and how to make a better way.
Two points I would add is that those of us in the rich world need to get along on less. Second we need to use nonviolent campaigns to stop those exploting people or planet.

As a nature bonded person this book is a holy text. The many details about trees, soil and evolution feel like a gift. I aim to live in ways that will help life's amazing abundance.
