Hollywood is unleashing a raft of movies about humanity tottering on the edge of extinction. In � ��"2012,� �� a G-8 summit convenes to discuss the fact that � ��"the world as we know it will soon come to an end.� �� Actually, I would not be surprised if the participants found this preferable to another round of the Doha trade talks.

"Rob Kall's Bottom Up is a revaluation of values, not the empty mouthing of the word 'democracy' that is so common, but the application of belief in popular wisdom to every aspect of life. Actually believing that the views of more people is better, means a new way of thinking about the world that is democratic, feminist, localist, populist, and radically richer than the elitist perspectives that are more common even in the parts of the world that shout the word 'democracy' the most. Here we come to understand both the power of small groups and the upsides to internet crowd sourcing, the potential of nonviolent movements and ways in which the past has not been what we supposed. Don't just read this book; get lots of people to read and talk about it."

David Swanson, host, Talk Nation Radio, author of War No More: The Case for Abolition.
