Living Cheaply With Style: Live Better and Spend Less

Ernest Callenbach

Ronin Publishing, 2000

What happened to "Living Poor With Style"?
I had borrowed "Living Poor With Style" from a friend long ago, when I was able to buy a "revised" copy it was "The Ecotopian Encyclopedia" or something and it seemed to have been substantially watered down. I'm reluctant to order this title, I want the OLD version, I ...

Ecotopia Emerging

Ernest Callenbach

Heyday Books, 1981

Most reviews from Statesboro Georgia
Most of the Amazon reviews on this book are curiously from Statesboro Georgia. Perhaps the same individual writing multiple bad reviews. I would recommend reading Ernest Callenbach's "Ecotopia" before reading "Ecotopia Emerging", as Ecotopia sets the groundwork ...

Storm (California Legacy)

George Rippey Stewart, Ernest Callenbach

Heyday Books, 2003

Storm, A Fascinating Biography
The book was written in 1940. I read it in February 1943 at the U. of Wisconsin. Unaware that I needed glasses, I had been rejected by the Army Air Corps as a possible fighter pilot. I stumbled into weather forecasting as a bad second choice, having no interest at ...

Mindfulness and Meaningful Work: Explorations in Right Livelihood

Parallax Press, 1994

Makes a great gift for Christmas, birthdays or friendship
This book inspired me! It presents a wide range of views on the subject of right livelihood, from traditional Buddhist thinking to essays from well-known non-Buddhist writers. I was especialy impressed by the inclusion of essays on Amish economics, Islamic banking, ...

Bring Back the Buffalo!: A Sustainable Future for America's Great Plains

Ernest Callenbach

University of California Press, 2007

An excellant series of suggestions for the rural plains
Well, I'll try this a second time. The first time I wrote this review, it disappeared from the screen as soon as I clicked on the Edit button, so take care. At any rate... Callenbach makes an excellent case for changing the way we utilize the Great Plains. With ...

Ecotopia

Ernest Callenbach

Bantam, 1990

A Great Concept
After reading "Utopias on Puget Sound," I was hooked on the history and all things utopia. I would bet that most people in Washington state and British Columbia would love to form a new country, but alas, we can dream about what life might be like if the west coast ...

A Citizen Legislature/A People's Parliament (Luck of the Draw: Sortition and Public Policy)
Ernest Callenbach, Michael Phillips, ...

Imprint Academic, 2008

A People's Parliament: In his book The Party's Over: Blueprint for a Very English Revolution (2004), Keith Sutherland questioned the role of the party in the post-ideological age and concluded that it would be better for government ministers to be appointed by headhunters and held to account by a people's parliament selected by lot. This ...

Open doors to unsaid subject
Wonderful book about various models of friendship, insightful and non-assuming, its chapters shed light on troubles and delights in the course of many real friendships. Good reading for expanding your styles of friends and friendships.

Living poor with style (A Straight Arrow Book)

Ernest Callenbach

Bantam Books, 1972

Dated but Timely
This book is quite dated (Published in 1972 by Bantam). It is, however, a fantastic book. Most of the dated elements refer to costs, something that was twenty cents then is probably a dollar fifty now. The book is filled with good ideas: buying used cars instead of ...

Ecotopian Sketchbook

Ernest Callenbach

Banyan Tree Books, 1981

The Ecotopian Sketchbook is almost 25 years old, but it's quite relevant right now.
Now, more than ever, those of us who want to see a better world need inspiration and a vision to guide us. The Ecotopian Sketchbook provides that(1). If you have not already read Ernest Callenbach's book Ecotopia, I recommend experiencing it first so that you can ...
