Surviving the Converging Catastrophies of the Twenty-First Century
Kames Howard Kunstler
This book starkly portrays the global oil predicament, climate change, and other shocks to the system, with implications for how we will live in the decades ahead.
"What sets "The Long Emergency" apart from numerous other books on this theme is its comprehensive sweep—its powerful integration of science, technology, economics, finance, international politics and social change—along with a fascinating attempt to peer into a chaotic future. And Kunstler is such a compelling, fast-paced and sometimes eloquent writer that the book is hard to put down. |

Myths, Folktales, and Stories About Growing Older
Ann G. Thomas, Ed.D.
This book for the aging woman takes a unique approach. The author recounts compelling myths and folktales from a variety of cultures, and then explains their hidden symbolism. For example, the Japanese story of an old woman who chased a rice cake, or the British tale of the old woman in a vinegar bottle, are traditional stories that contain messages passed down from one generation to the other and hold valuable lessons on how to deal with growing older, facing mortality, accepting limitations and getting in touch with the "masculine within" and the "dark feminine"--two parts of every woman that the author believes may be buried deep in the unconscious. She advocates self-knowledge as the path to aging creatively and happily. --PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
