Women and the Arts Will Mostly Likely Change the World Kurt Cobb wrote a suspense novel about peak oil especially for women because they generally make decisions for the household and because the book addresses one of the most serious problems in our world today that's not being talked about.

Why I Garden These days, whenever I introduce myself, I say I'm a professor, a freelance writer, and a volunteer on a non-commercial organic farm and goat dairy. That last identity is a new one since a year ago last April. Although my new venture is not a typical academic endeavor, learning how to garden and farm was a conscious and deliberate choice that came out of several considerations.

This is a hangover of 20th century industrialization that led us not only to build one of the world's great civilizations but now to oversee its very dismantling.
