HAPPY EARTH DAY!
Judith Plant, together with her late partner Kip, was the longtime publisher of New Society Publishers. Headquartered here on Gabriola for three decades now, NSP is a leader in publishing books about social change. (Episode 6 (“Groundswell”) of this podcast series featured Gabriolan, Fay Weller – a New Society author.)
Physically distanced by the Rocky Mountains, I caught up with Judith and we reflected on these pandemic times.
Judith’s presentation “Gathering the Threads” is on Youtube, telling the NSP story over the decades.
And this email from Judith, re: books to recommend now . . .
I found myself selecting titles that aren't in print anymore, like Colonialism on Trial, by Don Monet and Arydthe Wilson, and Clayoquot Mass Trials, and others...mostly because I have fond memories of putting them together. But really, when I look at the list, I like so many of them. So I decided to give you the five NSP books on our coffee table:
“The Year Round Hoophouse” 
“Soil Science”
“Elegant Simplicity” 
“Clean Money Revolution” 
"Culture Gap"   
Also mentioned were:
“Our Ecological Footprint” 
And books by author, Joanna Macy. https://newsociety.ca/books/c/coming-back-to-life
