Thirty years ago, Frances Moore Lappé started a revolution in the way Americans think about food and hunger. Now Frances and her daughter, Anna, pick up where Diet for a Small Planet left off. Together they set out on an around-the-world journey to explore the greatest challenges we face in the new millennium. Traveling to Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Europe, they discovered answers to one of the most urgent issues of our time: whether we can transcend the rampant consumerism and capitalism to find the paths that each of us can follow to heal our lives as well as the planet.Featuring nearly seventy recipes from celebrated vegetarian culinary pioneers-including Alice Waters, Mollie Katzen, Laurel Robertson, Nora Pouillon, and Anna Thomas-Hope's Edge highlights true trailblazers engaged in social, environmental, and economic transformations.

إن الكتاب يتعلق بأكثر الموضوعات مساسا بحياة الإنسان : موضوع الغذاء و الحصول علي الخبز و بقدر ما يؤمن القارئ الواعي بأنه ( ليس بالخبز وحده يحيا الإنسان) فإنه يؤمن أيضا بأنه ( بغير الخبز لا يحيا الإنسان) و بأن من يتحكم في خبزه قادر علي التحكم في فكره و تعطيل عقله و إلغاء قدرته علي ممارسة كل ما هو رفيع قدراته . وفي عالمنا هذا أصبحت أقوي مظاهر الاستقطاب بين من يملكون و من لا يملكون , بين الشعوب التي عاشت علي الإفراط و الشعوب التي يتعرض أطفالها للمجاعة .

In EcoMind, Frances Moore Lappé—a giant of the environmental movement—confronts accepted wisdom of environmentalism. Drawing on the latest research from anthropology to neuroscience and her own field experience, she argues that the biggest challenge to human survival isn’t our fossil fuel dependency, melting glaciers, or other calamities. Rather, it’s our faulty way of thinking about these environmental crises that robs us of power. Lappé dismantles seven common “thought traps”—from limits to growth to the failings of democracy— that belie what we now know about nature, including our own, and offers contrasting “thought leaps” that reveal our hidden power. Like her Diet for a Small Planet classic, EcoMind is challenging, controversial and empowering.

Argues for a new understanding of democracy, one that is values-driven and creates benefits for the average citizen, rather than favoring corporate interests and the wealthy class.

An optimistic book for Americans who are asking, in the wake of Trump’s victory, What do we do now? The We need to organize and fight to protect and expand our democracy.Americans are distraught as tightly held economic and political power drowns out their voices and values. Legendary Diet for a Small Planet author Frances Moore Lappé and organizer-scholar Adam Eichen offer a fresh, surprising response to this core crisis. This intergenerational duo opens with an essential It’s not the magnitude of a challenge that crushes the human spirit. It’s feeling powerless—in this case, fearing that to stand up for democracy is futile. It’s not, Lappé and Eichen argue. With riveting stories and little-known evidence, they demystify how we got here, exposing the well-orchestrated effort that has robbed Americans of their rightful power. But at the heart of this unique book are solutions. Even in this divisive time, Americans are uniting across causes and ideologies to create a “canopy of hope” the authors call the Democracy Movement. In this invigorating “movement of movements,” millions of Americans are leaving despair behind as they push for and achieve historic change. The movement and democracy itself are vital to us as citizens and fulfill human needs—for power, meaning, and connection—essential to our thriving. In this timely and necessary book, Lappé and Eichen offer proof that courage is contagious in the daring fight for democracy.

Frances Moore Lappé-author of the million-selling Diet for a Small Planet -and Jeffrey Perkins offer the radical notion that our fears can be a source of energy to create the lives and the world we want.Now more than ever, it seems, our lives and the lives of our loved ones are at risk. Our normal response is to retreat. But what if fear were not a negative force but a positive one-a source of energy and strength? Sharing their own intimate journeys with fear, as well as the experiences of others, the authors offer seven liberating notions that can help unleash your power to walk into the unknown and create a more fulfilling, authentic life.

"... policy briefs and analysis on the world food system and the inequalities that are caused by it."

Three out of five Americans, both Republicans and Democrats, feel our country is headed in the wrong direction. America is at the edge, a critical place at which we can either renew and revitalize or give in and lose that most precious American ideal—democracy—and along with it the freedom, fairness, and opportunities it assures. Democracy’s Edge is a rousing battle cry that we can—and must—act now. From Jefferson to Eisenhower, presidents from both parties have warned us of the danger of letting a closed, narrow group of business and government officials concentrate power over our lives. Yet today, a small and unrepresentative group of people is making vital decisions for all of us. But this crisis is only a symptom, Lappé argues. It’s a symptom of thin democracy , something done to us or for us, not by or with us. Such democracy is always at risk of being stolen by private interests or extremist groups, left and right. But there is a solution. The answer, says Lappé, is Living Democracy, a powerful yet often invisible citizens’ revolution surging in communities across America. It’s not random, disjointed activism but the emergence of a new historical stage of democracy in which Americans realize that democracy isn’t something we have but something we do. Either we live it or lose it, says Lappé.

In Liberation Ecology , Frances Moore Lappé challenges the conventional wisdom of the environmental movement. She takes apart six prevailing ideas about nature and human nature that she believes rob society of the ability to create the world it wants. She then reframes these ideas in ways that energize and motivate readers to create change. Liberation Ecology continues the quest Lappé began 40 years ago in Diet for a Small Planet. It was then that she first realized that the ideas humans hold can be more powerful than instinct. Ideas can trap us in powerlessness or free us to create the world we really want. A unique blend of the ecological and political, this book asks readers to "think like an ecosystem," offering compelling examples of this approach, helping them find direction in relation to both the environment and social issues.

Originally published in 1988 and 1990, this book asks what positive lessons can be learned from some of the developing world's success stories on population. Six developing world countries, as well as the Indian state of Kerala had achieved dramatic reductions in birth rates at the time the book was originally published. The book examines what made their success possible and what lessons they held for the planet, where human beings (now, as then) must bring our species into balance with the natural world.

The Annual E. F. Schumacher Lectures include some of the foremost voices on a new economics. In October 1981 the E. F. Schumacher Society (now the Schumacher Center for a New Economics) hosted the first annual E. F. Schumacher Lectures, which were delivered by Wendell Berry, Hazel Henderson, and Wes Jackson. They offered a promising view of the world as it could and should be. It was a propitious beginning for what has become a respected tradition. We have garnered over the years a splendid compendium of lectures (edited by Hildegarde Hannum) that are acquainting people with a cultural and economic revolution in the making. Speakers challenge entrenched ways of thinking. They are sometimes profound, sometimes practical, sometimes funny, always provocative, and invariably their wisdom points the way to a future in which people, land, and community matter. The Lecturers include some of the leading proponents of a new economics. From the beginning the lectures have been printed as pamphlets in order to give them a permanent form; now they are also available on the Schumacher Center's website (centerforneweconomics.org) in both written and audio form. Publishing in ebook format continues to make their compelling messages available to a growing audience. The E. F. Schumacher Lecture Series includes talks by Gar Alperovitz, Thomas Berry, Wendell Berry, Dan Barber, Peter Barnes, Elise Boulding, David Brower, Majora Carter, Marie Cirillo, David Ehrenfeld, Neva Goodwin, Hunter Hannum, Alanna Hartzok, Richard Heinberg, Hazel Henderson, Ivan Illich, Wes Jackson, Jane Jacobs, Van Jones, Andrew Kimbrell, David Korten, Winona LaDuke, Anna Lappe, Frances Moore Lappe, Thomas Linzey, Amory Lovins, Oren Lyons, Jerry Mander, John McClaughry, Bill McKibben, John McKnight, Stephanie Mills, Stacey Mitchell, John Mohawk, David Morris, Helena Norberg Hodge, David Orr, Will Raap, Kirkpatrick Sale, Otto Scharmer, Juliet Schor, E.

Noi siamo il nostro pianeta ha fatto la sua prima apparizione in libreria nel 1971 e da quel momento in poi ha rappresentato una pietra miliare nella storia della consapevolezza che noi tutti abbiamo dello stretto legame tra l’alimentazione individuale e l’ambiente in cui viviamo.Sin da quando è uscito, e sempre di più nelle successive riedizioni, questo libro ha sparigliato le carte in tavola e rivoluzionato il modo di mangiare di milioni di persone e la loro sensibilità al tema dell’inquinamento, unendo la teoria alle buone pratiche quotidiane per applicarla.Questa prima traduzione di un volume che ha fatto la storia della politica ambientale così come della teoria della nutrizione esce in Italia in occasione del cinquantesimo anniversario della pubblicazione originaria, in versione aggiornata e ampliata. Dopo mezzo secolo e più di tre milioni di copie vendute, il suo assunto continua a essere di stringente attualità: è giunto il momento di agire affinché ci si renda tutti conto che una dieta essenzialmente green è un reale agente di cambiamento sociale.
