Cuban Health Care
How the Cuban health care system became the blueprint for accessible medical care around the world Quiet as it’s kept inside the United States, the Cuban revolution has achieved some phenomenal goals, reclaiming Cuba’s agriculture, advancing its literacy rate to nearly 100 percent – and remaking its medical system. Cuba has transformed its health care to the extent that this “third-world” country has been able to maintain a first-world medical system, whose health indicators surpass those of the United States at a fraction of the cost. Don Fitz combines his deep knowledge of Cuban history with his decades of on-the-ground experience in Cuba to bring us the story of how Cuba’s hea...
"We are All Leaders"
"We Are All Leaders" describes a kind of union qualitatively different from the bureaucratic business unions that make up the AFL-CIO today. From African American nutpickers in St. Louis, chemical and rubber workers in Akron, textile workers in the South, and bootleg miners in Pennsylvania to tenant farmers in the Mississippi Delta, packinghouse and garment workers in Minnesota, seamen in San Francisco, and labor party campaigns throughout the country, workers in the 1930s were experimenting with community-based unionism. Contributors to this volume draw on interviews with participants in the events described, first-person narratives, trade union documents, and other primary sources to tell ...
Deep Green Resistance
For years, Derrick Jensen has asked his audiences, "Do you think this culture will undergo a voluntary transformation to a sane and sustainable way of life?" No one ever says yes. Deep Green Resistance starts where the environmental movement leaves off: industrial civilization is incompatible with life. Technology can't fix it, and shopping—no matter how green—won’t stop it. To save this planet, we need a serious resistance movement that can bring down the industrial economy. Deep Green Resistance evaluates strategic options for resistance, from nonviolence to guerrilla warfare, and the conditions required for those options to be successful. It provides an exploration of organizational structures, recruitment, security, and target selection for both aboveground and underground action. Deep Green Resistance also discusses a culture of resistance and the crucial support role that it can play. Deep Green Resistance is a plan of action for anyone determined to fight for this planet—and win.
The State of Grace . . . and Other Calamities
Gaudere res seria est. Loosely translated from Latin in our Abridged Too Far Dictionary, that means: Having fun is serious business. Please note that it does not translate from old German to mean: "I've got sauerkraut in my lederhosen." Actually, it's the motto of the Mystical Township of Grace, Washington, a place unlike any other town in America. Perhaps it might even be the off-center of the known universe. What follows is a compilation of columns culled from the Greater Grace Gazette's disgustingly dusty archives that will provide insight into the comings and goings and doings of the town's sometimes zany and occasionally self-important residents and interlopers. It is hoped they will make you agree that having fun is serious business indeed. Warning: Not for the Humor Impaired.

Home Is Where You Least Expect It
At the funeral of his son, Robert, Julian Manchester saw something in his grandson, Bobby, which made him invite Bobby to move back to their home town after he graduates from college. Bobby has not been close to Gran'pa Julian or his grandmother, Mava Lou, since his mother died when he was three years old, and his grief-stricken father moved him and his older brother, Mark, to the city. Julian and Mava Lou are getting older, and Bobby decides to come home and get to know them before it is too late. He applies for a job at a local accounting firm and is hired. His decision has far-reaching effects on, not only his own life, but on the lives of several other people. "Home Is Where You Least Expect It" is the wonderfully funny and touching story of how one event can change the direction of many lives, for better or worse.
The Dialectics of Ecology
"Today the fate of the earth as a home for humanity is in question-and yet, contends John Bellamy Foster, the reunification of humanity and the earth remains possible if we are prepared to make revolutionary changes. As with his prior books, The Dialectics of Ecology is grounded in the contention that we are now faced with a concrete choice between ecological socialism and capitalist exterminism, and rooted in insights drawn from the classical historical materialist tradition. In this latest work, Foster explores the complex theoretical debates that have arisen historically with respect to the dialectics of nature and society. He then goes on to examine the current contradictions associated with the confrontation between capitalist extractivism and the financialization of nature, on the one hand, and the radical challenges to these represented by emergent visions of ecological civilization and planned degrowth, on the other"--
Junk to Gold
“Quando olho para traz, penso que meu sucesso é em parte devido as lições que meu pai me ensinou e em parte a mão de Deus me guiando no caminho. Também penso que boa parte disso tem a ver com o fato de que nunca pensei que o que estava fazendo poderia não funcionar. Nunca pensei que não poderia fazer. Alguns podem chamar isso de confiança. Alguns também podem pensar que esse tipo de otimismo cego vem da ignorância. Mas eu simplesmente nunca deixei a possibilidade de fracasso entrar na minha mente. E eu acredito que quando você pode saltar para algo de todo coração você pode fazer coisas incríveis pois não há medo que te impeça.” – Willis Johnson
