 | POWER OF THE STORY--Michael Hanne
Click on the link for a complete description.
As the world's nations and peoples become more interconnected, the conditions in which they live and function are often very different. Those dual trends are the theme of Hauchler, a member of the German parliament, and Kennedy, a professor of international studies at Yale. They pull together an impressive array of development statistics to assess the performance of the international system... and point out the steps...to bring about global governance. The categories covered range from religion to work to population, from the environment to finance to emerging technologies. Within these and other categories, they look at many more topics, although sketchedly at best. Readers seeking greater depth of analysis should look to the annual WorldWatch reports on the State of The World (Norton, 1984+). The global perspective offered can provide U.S. citizens points of comparison as they assess the performance of their own social and economic systems. Recommended for college and larger public libraries. Bill Rau, Takoma Park, Md. Library Journal, 03/15/1995

 | Cooking with the Sun by Beth Halacy, Dan Halacy
Did you know that an entire turkey can be cooked just as quickly (and a lot less expensively) by the sun as by a conventional oven? A simple yet highly effective solar oven can be built for less than dollar 20 in materials. Solar cookers don`t pollute, don`t smoke, leave no ashes to clean up, operate with free fuel, and can be used when the electricity goes out. The first half of Cooking with the Sun presents detailed, easy-to-follow instructions accompanied by helpful graphics on how to build a solar oven that can reach 400 degrees and a solar hot plate that can reach 600 degrees. The second half contains one hundred recipes designed especially for solar cooking and personally tested by the Halacys. These dishes, simple to prepare, range from everyday Solar Stew and Texas Biscuits to tasty exotica like Enchilada Casserole. AUTHOR: Beth Halacy, Dan Halacy

 | Wine from Sky to Earth by Nicholas Joly
From France's greatest winegrower-a chemical free, organic, wine-rich in the vital force of life. Nicholas Joly's Loire Valley vineyard produces what has been called France's-or even the world's-best white wine. He grows and produces these wines without using any pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilizers in growing the grapes or using chemical additives during the winemaking process. He creates his beautiful wine by understanding and working with the subtle forces of nature. This practice founded by visionary Rudolf Steiner is called biodynamics and Nicholas Joly is one of the world's most respected practitioners and teachers. Sophisticated wine lovers, winegrowers, and new age horticulturists will enjoy this beautiful, poetic book about the earth, our food, and our lives. The striking photos of Mr. Joly's vineyard, planted by the Cisterian monks in 1130 and continuously cultivated, will inspire all to learn more about the Loire Valley, Joly's methods, and wine in general.
