Product Description

Bioregionalism is the first book to explain the theoretical and practical dimensions of bioregionalism from an interdisciplinary standpoint, focusing on the place of bioregional identity within global politics. Leading contributors from a broad range of disciplines introduce this exciting new concept as a framework for thinking about indigenous peoples, local knowledge, globalization, science, global environmental issues, modern society, conservation, history, education and restoration. Bioregionalism's emphasis on place and community radically changes the way we confront human and ecological issues.

Bioregionalism Review

'Bioregionalism' is a collection of chapters written by different authors and includes many of the principal names in the field of bioregionalism. It rates four stars because it is a good reflection of some of the more credible bioregionalist literature. It fails to get the fifth star because the book lacks chapters by either Peter Berg or Kirkpatric Sale, who are arguably two of the most prominant and influential writers contributing to bioregionalist thought. The rating reflects that this book is very readable and would give somebody who is unfamiliar with bioregionalism a good overview of the subject while providing plenty more for a more knowledgable reader. The rating does not reflect whether the subject of bioregionalism is sound or 'worthy' and that must be left up to the individual reader. If read alongside authors such as Arne Naes, this book presents a stimulating alternative philosophy.

Breakthrough Strategies for Predicting Any Market: Charting Elliott Wave, Lucas, Fibonacci and Time for Profit (Wiley Trading) Review

Mr Greenblatt is an experienced trader and he believes that he is adding value to Fibonacci ratio analysis by adding "Lucas numbers"- same idea as Fibonacci but starting with 2 plus 1 instead. He then shows charts where turning points correlate with Fibonacci or Lucas numbers, the trouble being that there are so many of these possibilities that just about anywhere might do it.

He then picks selective charts to emphasise the accuracy of this technique but shows no statistical evidence that it is practically useful.

I found the psychological aspects covered in the last few chapters the most useful. His ideas on counting Elliot waves are great in retrospect. They are always much more evident in a chart in the rear view mirror.

I don't share Ms Bolton-Smith's raving support for this alleged breakthrough in trading. I must admit I was expecting much more than adding Fibonacci times to Fibonacci price ratios.

Also charting programmes like Ensign have studies to measure this in time and why isn't everyone using them- because much of the time they are of no use.

A good book, with a clear technique that suits Mr Greenblatt and it may help me occassionally when there is a clear Elliot series of impulse waves appearing but otherwise of limited benefit.

The charts are in black and white and although large unclear. The writing of the bar numbers on the charts is often magnifying glass effort to read. How is the reader to know when to use any particular Fib or Lucas number when there are so many- never explained although some mutterings about Candle formations.

I do think that one point that he makes is useful, namely don't trade mediocre patterns, patiently wait for the best to risk your money.

Overall an average book, in a field littered with many below average offerings.

Product Description

The first new form of community organizing since Saul Alinsky, this book connects the poor to the rest of society. Written in a logical, teachable, and pragmatic style, Consensus Organizing: Building Communities of Mutual Self Interest is a model of social change for the 21st century. Through real examples, author Mike Eichler illustrates how anyone can practice consensus organizing and help the poor, forgotten, and disempowered.

Consensus Organizing: Building Communities of Mutual Self Interest Review

Eichler's new book is a very engaging summary of the consensus method of organizing which he pioneered. Not only is the book informative, but it reads like an extended chat over a hot cup of coffee in Mitchell's diner in the Mon Valley.

Eichler's voice in this text is impassioned, analytical, and humorous all at once. He has mastered the art of conveying complicated ideas through the use of memorable and enthralling stories.

Take, or example, his story about how he introduced an audience in Buffalo, New York to the legendary organizer Saul Alinsky. I doubt that anyone can read that passage without finding themselves sitting on the edge of their seat by the time Eichler reaches the story's climax.

Eichler has a story teller's eye for just the right details to make the reader feel as though one is on a journey through the multi-faceted terrain of organizing, yet he never strays far from the lesson he intends to convey.

Eichler also has a passion for social justice, but he does not come off as being preachy or ideological. This has been one of the keys to his success in organizing.

Eichler emphasizes looking for partners with expertise that is relevant to the problem confronting the community; seeking to build relationships with these partners so that the community group and the expert partners have a shared stake in the outcome; and getting everyone involved to frankly articulate their self-interest.

Self-assessment of the diverse assets of the community group and assessments of the assets of potential partners is at the heart of Eichler's approach to neighborhood organizing.

Again and again the organizer must ask: (a) What do we (the community group) have to offer in order to strike a deal? (b) What does our potential expert partner have to offer? (c) How can we cut the deal?

Eichler's passion for community organizing is contagious in an age where there is cynicism and escapist fantasizing in community practice.

If his readers have lost the capacity and the energy to care; if they have lost the ability to believe that good people with sound strategies can still make a difference, then reading Eichler will re-energize them and stimulate their creative juices to go out and become catalysts for social change.

He also provides his readers with opportunities to develop their strategic and analytical skills as he takes them on a tour of US revitalization efforts on the diverse terrain of the urban landscape.

What more can a reader ask for?

Now, about Eichler's take on Madonna...
