The Activist's Media Handbook
Lessons from Fifty Years as a Progressive Agitator
David Fenton - 2022-11-01
Рейтинг Goodreads
Learn from activist and public relations expert David Fenton, who shares his experience on how to cultivate successful media campaigns. After working in history-making social movements for over fifty years, Fenton reflects on what does and doesn't work to effectively propel progressive causes into the public eye. From campaigns to free Nelson Mandela and expose the dangers of toxic chemicals in our food, to recent campaigns that banned fracking in New York and warned the public of the climate crisis, Fenton has a wealth of knowledge to share. Part personal memoir and practical guide, The Activist's Media Handbook is an essential toolkit for anyone looking to captivate audiences and inspire them to join the cause.

Запутанная жизнь
Как грибы меняют мир, наше сознание и наше будущее
Merlin Sheldrake - 2020-05-12
Рейтинг Goodreads
Под словом «гриб» мы обыкновенно имеем в виду плодовое тело гриба, хотя оно по сути то же, что яблоко на дереве. Большинство грибов живут тайной – подземной – жизнью, и они составляют «разношерстную» группу организмов, которая поддерживает почти все прочие живые системы. Это ключ к пониманию планеты, на которой мы живем, а также наших чувств, мыслей и поведения. Талантливый молодой биолог Мерлин Шелдрейк переворачивает мир с ног на голову: он приглашает читателя взглянуть на него с позиции дрожжей, псилоцибиновых грибов, грибов-паразитов и паутины мицелия, которая простирается на многие километры под поверхностью земли (что делает грибы самыми большими живыми организмами на планете). Открывающаяся грибная сущность заставляет пересмотреть наши взгляды на индивидуальность и разум, ведь грибы, как выясняется, – повелители метаболизма, создатели почв и ключевые игроки во множестве естественных процессов. Они способны изменять наше сознание, врачевать тела и даже обратить нависшую над нами экологическую катастрофу. Эти организмы переворачивают наше понимание самой жизни на Земле.
