Dixi Books Publishing OOD Creative Solutions to a World in Crisis: The
Book Synopsis`Creative Solutions to a World in Crisis’ is a manual for change, a wakeup call for us to take back control over our lives before they become irreversibly controlled. The book examines where we lost our way: historically, socially, environmentally, agriculturally, economically, technologically, and in law, education and spirit. It demonstrates how to now resolve the key dilemmas brought about via `wrong doing’ in each of these spheres –and beyond. The book focuses on pragmatic human scale resolutions to conflicting socio-economic problems, proposing realisable `local’ solutions as an antidote to rapidly developing global crises. Through the channelling of reawakened human energies into a process of root and branch societal reform, the author foresees a `new renaissance’ of hope, creative endeavour that can reshape our perilous planetary existence and lead to a deeper and more subtle relationship between man and nature as well as between fellow human beings. Quite simply: it is an uncompromising call for us to rise to meet the challenge of our time.

Information Age Publishing Fallow Lands of Plenty: Public Schools as Leaders
Book SynopsisCan public schools feed themselves? That deceptively simple question is like a fingernail picking at a fray in the fabric of 21st century public education. Fallow Lands of Plenty chronicles one high school's attempt to feed itself and, in doing so, unravels the fabric of neoliberal education, exposes its logics of dependence and control, and begins to weave a new tapestry of education for community cooperation and resilience.Set during the ongoing transition between post-industrial globalization and the community structures that are to come, this rich narrative moves from furrows of Appalachian red clay soil, to the mountaintop homesteads of elder seed savers, to the conveyor belts of sterilized food sorting machines, and, finally, to a school's cafeteria on the day that 250 portions of student-grown sweet potatoes were served.Along the way, Fallow Lands centers knowledges of place as well as the literal and metaphorical seeds of relocalized food and education systems. Critical and theoretically informed, the text disobeys the values, purpose and canon of public education and proposes a fledgling pedagogy to address the challenges of the coming age.Trade ReviewEric Klein's Fallow Lands of Plenty is a stirring manifesto for transforming public schools into centers of learning about community resilience and for transitioning to a "pedagogy of relocalization" that prepares students for the unstructuring of the hegemonic corporate food regime set in motion by climate collapse. What sets Fallow Lands of Plenty apart is the ethic of relational care that informs Klein's deeply personal style of writing. Incisive, radical, and accessible, the writing uplifts students, teachers, elders, cafeteria women, and extension agents as co-producers of new modes of public schooling in rural Appalachia that foster collective ownership of learning and intergenerational transfers of knowledge cast out by official state curricula."" — Anatoli Ignatov, Appalachian State University""A must read for today and tomorrow's generations. Fallow Lands of Plenty reminds us that our ancestors did things a certain way, for certain reasons, and the survival of this knowledge may very well mean our own."" — Heath Robertson, Cherokee Central Schools
