HEADED INTO

THE ABYSS

The Story of Our Time,

and the Future We’ll Face

by Brian T. Watson

A unique, big-picture assessment

of the unprecedented forces and

developments besieging our soci-

eties and the world. Powerful and

interconnected, these forces and

their dynamics will carry us into

any number of disasters well before

2100. We have the knowledge and
      solutions to address our difficulties,
      but for many reasons we will not employ them.
      Describing the current interplay of capitalism, politics, technol-
      og y, the Internet, human nature, and other realities, the book is
      unflinching in its sobering conclusions.

SOMEWHERE ELSE

by Alex Morton

We headed to the Greek island of

Ikaria, a magical place where people

live years longer than normal. An

abandoned family farm overlooking

the Aegean needed to be brought

back to life. Who could resist? We

would restore the house, get the

land working again, harvest olives,

swim in the Aegean and add years

to our lives... if we didn’t kill our-

selves in the process.
