I love to read, but must read fiction as well IF it has a positive expression of life as is. Thanks again. <br><br><br><br>---------- Original message ----------<br><br>From: dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net<br>Date: Thu Dec 17 11:34:34 CST 2020<br>Subject: [Dialogue] books<br>To: dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net;<br><br><br>End of the year holidays always make me think about books as gifts. I’ve been mentioning three to friends who ask if I know any to recommend. I’m guessing everyone in this group is familiar with them but I figure a little “revisiting” would probably be a good thing.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">“The Critical Decade” by Robertson Work is a collection of talks he's given over the past ten years. After reading it, I wrote Rob speaks with “the urgency and power of a prophet along with the empathy and compassion of a fellow journeyman.” This book is fine exploration about the environmental crisis we face.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">“More Than Halfway to Somewhere” by John Burbidge immerses the reader in interesting places and experiences around the world. "A
perfect book for satisfying curiosity, expanding one's perspective, and enjoying
some very entertaining hours” was one of my reflections about it.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0pt;" class="">"Tragic
Investment” by James Addington takes a very deep look at the American experience of
race. I particularly appreciated his focus on action. I wrote this about it: </span>“H<span style="letter-spacing: 0pt;" class="">e offers a
practical vision about collaborative work in communities and its relationship
to interrupting long-standing patterns within society as a whole. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt;" class="">It
is a book that every organizer should read.</span>”</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">These are recent offerings by some of our EI/OE/ICA colleagues. Please feel free to add others (the late John
Epps's “Meanderings” is terrific). If you are moved to purchase any of these, consider doing so via alternatives to Amazon. While this may be a bit more expensive, I think of it as a "well-being tax" resisting growing trends of single source domination.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best wishes,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Terry </div>
