Asphalt Nation: The Paving of America
Jane Holtz Kay
The “Open Road” is part of the mystique of American culture: hit the highway in your car and travel the great, big country. There is plenty of road to drive – about two and a half million miles worth. We have more cars in the U.S. than anywhere else in the world and some of […]

A fiery and eloquent presentation to the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee’s annual meeting.

The Small-Mart Revolution
Michael Shuman

Corporate chain stores proliferate. Globalization is constructed on a foundation of cheap and endless oil, gas and coal. The environmental consequences […]
The Work of Hope
Frances Moore Lappe
In times of great stress, the word hope falls off our tongue with more frequency. We hope things will get better.
