A hopeful book being offered by BuzzFlash?

Yes, it's true.

Paul Hawken, who has written several books that have gained international attention -- and who is a life-long innovative activist and socially responsible entrepeneur -- has penned his latest tome that argues that there is a rumbling in the world that is about to erupt. It is the coalescing force of advocates for environmental preservation, economic justice, and civil societies -- and it is reaching critical mass.

Up against the massive forces of nations that have yielded sovereignty to the interests of multi-national corporations, this grassroots movement that represents the best of democracy is about to come of age.

From the publisher:

"Blessed Unrest tells the story of a worldwide movement that is largely unseen by politicians or the media. Hawken, an environmentalist and author, has spent more than a decade researching organizations dedicated to restoring the environment and fostering social justice. From billion-dollar nonprofits to single-person causes, these organizations collectively comprise the largest movement on earth. This is a movement that has no name, leader, or location, but is in every city, town, and culture. It is organizing from the bottom up and is emerging as an extraordinary and creative expression of people’s needs worldwide.

Blessed Unrest explores the diversity of this movement, its brilliant ideas, innovative strategies, and centuries-old history. The culmination of Hawken’s many years of leadership in these fields, it will inspire, surprise, and delight anyone who is worried about the direction the modern world is headed. Blessed Unrest is a description of humanity’s collective genius and the unstoppable movement to re-imagine our relationship to the environment and one another. Like Hawken’s previous books, Blessed Unrest will become a classic in its field— a touchstone for anyone concerned about our future."
