Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 3
Environmentally, our planet lacks the laws to keep it safe, and those laws we do have are feebly enforced. Every year is the hottest in human history, while forest, reef, ice, tundra, and species are disappearing forever. It is easy to lose all hope. Who will stop the planet from committing ecological suicide? The UN? Governments? Activists? Corporations? Engineers? Scientists? Whoever, environmental laws need to be enforceable and enforced. Step forward a fresh breed of passionately purposeful environmental lawyers.

Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 21
Is philanthropy, by its very nature, a threat to today's democracy? Though we may laud wealthy individuals who give away their money for society's benefit, Just Giving reveals how such generosity not only isn't the unassailable good we think it to be but might also undermine democratic values and set back aspirations of justice.

thought for booking ideas but very academic
Revisado: 03-22-19
I love many of the ideas presented here but the form and language used is highly academic and formal, which unfortunately makes it not accessible too many. I hope he creates other formats to share this information and his theory in ways that are more accessible to the general public as this is an important message that needs to get out.

Growing up in rural El Salvador in the wake of the civil war, the United States was a distant fantasy to identical twins Ernesto and Raul Flores - until, at age 17, a deadly threat from the region’s brutal gangs forces them to flee the only home they’ve ever known. In this urgent chronicle of contemporary immigration, journalist Lauren Markham follows the Flores twins as they make their way across the Rio Grande and the Texas desert, into the hands of immigration authorities, and from there to their estranged older brother in Oakland, CA.

incredibly powerful
Revisado: 02-25-19
I love the way that Lauren tells the story of the twins authentically and helps you feel like you are right there next to them following their journey. she also weaves in a lot of explanation about many facets of immigration history and recent events, which is incredibly helpful for many of us who have a hard time understanding it all. She explains it clearly and simply, which I deeply appreciate! This book has helped me feel more informed about the current situation of migrants coming to the US from the south and giving me the courage and confidence to speak out more about this issue and address all the misinformation out there. thank you Lauren for writing this book 2 help all of us better understand the facts and advocate for the change that needs to happen!
