Fight Global Warming Now

by Bill McKibben et al.
Holt Paperbacks, 2007

204 pages, $13

The subject is global warming but the techniques are universal. This is a simple, compact, straightforward manual, "The handbook for taking action in your community," as the subtitle would have it. The "et al." above is "The Step it up Team -- Phil Aroneanu, Will Bates, May Boeve, Jamie Henn, Jeremy Osborn, and Jon Warnow," the scrappy bunch that helped organize 1,400 demonstrations in all 50 states last spring. This little book describes the principles behind successful organizing and some of the lessons they learned from experience. People are forever asking what they can do in this battle. Look no further than this book. --Tom Turner
