Additional Notes

From The Publisher*The New York Times bestselling examination of the worldwide movement for social and environmental change

Paul Hawken has spent more than a decade researching organizations dedicated to restoring the environment and fostering social justice. From billion-dollar nonprofits to single-person dot.causes, these groups collectively comprise the largest movement on earth, a movement that has no name, leader, or location and that has gone largely ignored by politicians and the media.

Blessed Unrest explores the diversity of the movement, its brilliant ideas, innovative strategies, and centuries of hidden history. A culmination of Hawken?s many years of leadership in the environmental and social justice fields, it will inspire all who despair of the world?s fate, and its conclusions will surprise even those within the movement itself.
From The Publisher*The author of The Ecology of Commerce examines the unstoppable worldwide movement to reimagine our relationship to the environment and one another - a movement with no name, leader, or location, which has gone largely unnoticed by politicians and the media. Like nature itself, it is organizing from the bottom up, in every city, town and culture, from billion-dollar nonprofits to single-person dot.causes. Hawken explores the diversity of the movement, its brilliant ideas, innovative strategies, and hidden history, which extends many centuries into the past. Now in paper. 352 pp. March.
