This old Dutch colony a little known land of myth, magic and ecological wonder. It is home to the largest tract of pristine rainforest left on the planet. However, this Eden also has a dark side. The author spent a year studying monkeys deep inside its primordial jungles. Five years later he travelled by foot, bus and dugout canoe, to try and uncover the country's soul. A spellbinding tale of survival, heartbreak, mystery and murder., University of Queensland Press, 2009, 0, Liberty Institute/Academic Foundation, 2005. Hardcover. New. This book should have been written years ago. It reveals a dark secret of the ideological environmental movement. The movement imposes the views of mostly wealthy, comfortable Americans and Europeans on mostly poor, desperate Africans, Asians and Latin Americans. It violates these people’s most basic human rights, denying them economic opportunities, the chance for better lives, the right to rid their countries of diseases that were vanquished long ago in Europe and the United States. Even worse, in league with the European Union, United Nations and other bureaucrats, the movement stifles vigorous, responsible debate over energy, pesticides, biotechnology and trade. It prevents needy nations from using the very technologies that developed countries employed to become rich, comfortable and free of disease. And as a consequence, it sends millions of infants, children, men and women to early graves every year. The ideological environmental movement is a powerful $4-billion-a-year US industry, an $8-billion-a-year international gorilla. Many of its members are intensely eco-centric, and seem to believe that wildlife and ecological values are more important than human progress or even human life. As this book forcefully points out, these radical activists have now wrapped their ideologies up in several elastic principles that focus on perceived environmental threats and largely ignore human needs.... What makes Eco-Imperialism unique, though, is not just its insightful analysis of corporate and environmental “ethics”, but its reliance on personal, sometimes angry observations by people from less developed countries, who must bear the brunt of these misguided environmental policies. Driessen does a masterful job of stripping away the radicals’ mantle of virtue, dissecting their bogus claims and holding them to the moral and ethical standards they have long demanded for everyone except themselves. And he does so with humor, outrage and passion – and always without pulling any punches. Every concerned citizen and policymaker should read this book. The environmentalists will hate it. The world’s destitute masses will love it. And everyone will be challenged by it to reexamine their beliefs and the environmental establishment’s claims.

Ray and psychologist Sherry Ruth Anderson draw upon thirteen years of survey research studies on more than 100,000 Americans, plus more than 100 focus groups and dozens of in-depth interviews. They reveal who the Cultural Creatives are and the fascinating story of their emergence over the last generation, using vivid examples and engaging personal stories to describe their distinctive values and lifestyles. The Cultural Creatives, 26% of the population, care deeply about ecology and saving the planet, about relationships, peace, and social justice, about self-actualization, spirituality, and self-expression. Surprisingly, they are both inner-directed and socially concerned; they're activists, volunteers, and contributors to good causes more often than other Americans. But because they've been so invisible, they are astonished to find out how many others share both their values and their way of life. Once they realize their numbers, their impact on America promises to be enormous, shaping a new agenda for the twenty-first century. ; 384 pages ., Harmony, 2000, 4<

Synopsis The Cultural Creatives illuminates an emerging, pervasive movement whose new worldview is deeply affecting not only their own lives but our larger society as well. As documented in media outlets from Time to Utne Reader, this movement's time is now. A Future Shock and Megatrends for the 21st century, The Cultural Creatives is the first book to describe a new American subculture that has been growing over the last 40 years and quietly revolutionizing American life. This group, too small to measure before the 1960s, is now 50 million strong a quarter of the adults in the United States. They are called the Cultural Creatives because they are creating new social inventions, worldviews, and ways of life. Their values are environmentally concerned, altruistic, idealistic, and spiritual, focused on relationships and psychological development, emphasizing the worth of the feminine, and longing to create a positive future. Based on a decade of original research from more than 100,000 respondents, on hundreds of focus groups, and dozens of in-depth interviews, this landmark book tracks the emergence of the Cultural Creatives population. Form wide-ranging cultural perspectives and deeply personal stories, we learn how this group has grown out of the 20 kinds of social movements that have appeared over the past several decades. At a time of epochal shift in modern civilization, they have now reached the critical mass that can transform American and global society in significant and beneficial ways. Their inspiring new social inventions are already exerting an influence on many aspects of American society, including health, business, all of thesocial movements, psychology, and spirituality. All that the Cultural Creatives lack is self-awareness as a culture. Because they have not guessed how large their numbers are, they have seen themselves as scattered and isolated, They do not yet know the promise they hold as a cohesive new force for change in the new century. The Cultural Creatives is the first to hold up a mirror to this new population. By opening our eyes to a group that is bringing a fundamental transformation in values and behavior to American life, The Cultural Creatives promises to be one of the defining books of the coming decade.
