<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Goulson is Professor of Biological
Sciences at the University of Sussex - and a really good writer
who mixes up his practical gardening experiences with the science
stories he tells. I was initially worried that it might be 'too
English' to apply to New Zealand conditions, but all gardens
everywhere have soil microorganisms, insects, birds, etc. as well
as plants, and while each place has specific interactions going
on, the principles behind them are all the same, and these are
relevant everywhere. I wish this book had been around when I
started gardening in my teens. <br>

<div>Dear all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What fiction / non fiction books or writings
would you recommend for young adults to introduce
to them the idea of ecological/ solidarity based
futures ?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sujit and I have the following ideas but am
sure you all have many more and it would be nice
to compile a reading list together for children/
young adults.</div>
<div>Ours are as follows:</div>
<div>1. 'Year of the Weeds' by Siddhartha Sarma
(Very clever and imaginative writing for
young adults fictionalising the
famous indigenous Niyamgiri struggle against
mining )</div>
<div>2. Daniel Greenberg's 'Free at Last ' about the
Sudbury Valley School</div>
<div>3. Entropia: Life Beyond Industrial
Civilisation by Samuel Alexander</div>
<div>4. Our own Gandhi Note book to introduce Gandhi
to young readers </div>
<div>5. Ela Bhatt's Anubandh and "We are poor but so
many". </div>
<div>6. The following chapters in Alternative
futures: Ch 35, Looking Back into the <span>Future</span>:
India, South Asia, and the world in 2010 ( pp
627-645), and Ch 18: Dare to dream ( pp 326- 340)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What else and what more would you recommend to
us that can be used as a reading list for Young
Adults?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many thanks in advance!</div>
