The Sustainability Revolution: Portrait of a Paradigm Shift ReviewI appreciated both what was presented about sustainability and how carefully Edwards compares the environmentalism and sustainability movements. He doesn't "diss" environmentalism, but illuminates a lot of general principles of the sustainability movement that show it to be significantly more sustainable as a movement.
I found each chapter to be complete, but there is a lot of parallel structure in the book so I limited myself to a chapter a day so I wouldn't confuse things between chapters.
Next edition: I could have used more explanation for why social equity is the third E (Ecology, Economy, Equity) of sustainability. I can deduce it on my own, but I just could have used some help understanding this at a fundamental level.
Overall, I loved this book and read just about every word of the text. I have marked up and flagged the extensive reference sections and have already chased down a few follow-up topics.The Sustainability Revolution: Portrait of a Paradigm Shift Overview

Green Witch ReviewAs an Alice Hoffman fan of the first order, I picked Green Witch prepared to add it to my lengthy list of her books which I adore and would recommend hands down. As other reviewers have pointed out, it's pure prose poetry.
What I didn't realize is that it's a sequel. I recommend reading Green Angel first (I will have to do that retroactively.) As a stand alone there is simply too much left unexplained. The five sections - Stone Witch, Sky Witch, Rose Witch, River Witch, and Green Witch, which comprise the slim Green Witch volume feel almost parenthetical to a far greater tale - as, indeed, they are. And though the ending is hopeful, as is true with every Alice Hoffman story, Green Witch has such a tragic overall cast that instead of feeling - oh, "things will be all right despite everything for these characters", I felt almost the opposite - despite their finding one another, coming together, being a "family" - nothing can ever be all right again, and they may survive and love, but they won't really live...
Here's what I think Scholastic should do. (My humble opinion.) Have Ms. Hoffman complete a third book, one that does bring the story full-circle, and has a more upbeat, maybe even a little funny at moments, overall feeling. Call it Green Garden, or Green Spirit... Then package the three as a trilogy.Green Witch Overview
