Restoring the Earth

This book gave me a positive pre-view of the future I always hoped could be. For example, In the referances for one of the chapters on finances I found several mutual funds operated by environmental friendly companies. These eco-mutual funds have made me money and a percentage of the profits the funds earn go to very respectable environmental 'charities' etc. Read this book if you want to find a way to feel good about what you investments are doing!

Ausubel's Restoring the Earth is vital, inspiring, and unique. In reading it, you will see the future of agriculture, design, medicine, and much more. For once, a book that fluidly merges and illuminates both social and environmental realities. For once, instead of simply depressing you or just screaming "somebody do something!"--it addresses these urgent realities with exciting solutions that are *already* tried and true. This is more than a lucid, intelligent outline of our planet's most pressing circumstances, it is a series of well-written stories about today's visionaries: innovative, real people that have come up with almost magical solutions to save biodiversity and money at the same time. Reading Ausubel's book is a great way to be educated and uplifted at the same time.
