Blessed Unrest
How the Largest Movement in the World Came Into Being and Why No One Saw It Coming , by Paul Hawken (Viking, 2007)
www.blessedunrest.com
This book shows us humanity's collective genius and the spontaneous movement that has arisen to re-imagine our relationship to the environment and to one another. Looking at organizations all over the world who are dedicated to restoring the environment and fostering social justice, this book gives reason for hope. These groups, large and small, collectively make up the largest movement on earth, a movement that has no name, leader, or location, and that has gone largely ignored by politicians and the media. Like nature itself, it is organizing from the bottom up, in every city, town, and culture and is emerging to be an extraordinary and creative expression of people's needs worldwide. Blessed Unrest explores the diversity of this movement, its brilliant ideas and strategies, and its hidden centuries-old history. www.blessedunrest.com and WISER: www.wiserearth.org
