Editorial Reviews
E.M., Willamette Week
Ausubel's message - that we're entering an era in which we will live within our biological limits - might seem overly optimistic, but he somehow manages to suspend disbelief. At least while you're reading his book, an observation once made by Margaret Mead rings true: Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. Restoring the Earth is a good book to reach for when life looks particularly grim.
Network Quarterly
This book contains stunning information for everyone. Problems with the environment whether its soil erosion, pollutants, food tampering, or any other area of concern are given attention by this incredible compilation of bio-pioneers. The positive aspect of this book is that the solutionsthat work are described. Within the text is the intelligence for survival and healing of our selves and the planet through relying on nature and ancient knowledge providing Earth Wisdom and Earth Harmony. These are heroic stories, hopeful stories especially since some of the information is shocking. These bioneers are our hope and our future. The solutions they offer are remarkably simple in some cases and can be implemented on may levels.
Whole Earth, Spring 1998
A lot of good news for a change, or, more accurately, of change. Restoring the Earth presents many of the heavy cutters at the fabled cutting edge of what is loosely dubbed sustainability. Kenny Ausubel, founder of Seeds of Change - is interested in affairs of the spirit, inspir(ing) readers with the stories of and from real people doing what needs to be done instead of fretting about finding a job or being downsized. Or quitting in despair. You'll probably be glad to meet them all, even if you don't need role models.
