Thank you, Terry, for endorsing my latest book. You are definitely a go-to-person for such in ICA USA. Thank you for your generous comments that appear on the back cover and in full in the front matter. </div>

<div class="" style="word-wrap:break-word">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 class="" style="letter-spacing:0pt">"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 class="" style="letter-spacing:0pt">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 class="" style="letter-spacing:0pt">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>
