Book Presentation

As the twenty-first century gets underway, systemic global problems are becoming increasingly expansive and alarming. However, a worldwide movement has also emerged through literally millions of organizations, many of them grassroots, which are determined to rectify the mistakes made by humanity in an effort to heal and sustain the earth. In Blessed Unrest, Hawken provides the historical underpinnings of the movement and lays out its common aims and ideals. This is a movement that has no name, leader, or location, but is in every city, town, and culture and it is organizing from the bottom up and emerging as an extraordinary and creative expression of people’s needs worldwide.

Paul Hawken is an environmentalist, entrepreneur, journalist, and author of six books. He is the architect and leading proponent of reform with respect to ecological practices.
