The Raggedy Man
Jim Falk scours the country for any trace of his missing father with only his pepper-box pistol and his trusty ax. His way crosses with a mysterious stranger and a legendary, stolen map... Set ten years before Kent's novel "The Witch at Sparrow Creek", this tale stands alone as an adventure into the weird world of Jim Falk.
The End of Sovereignty?
The end of sovereignty is . . . especially welcome. This is an extremely useful book which brings together insights from the differing disciplines of economics, politics and science. It should be consulted by all those concerned with contemporary international relations. Ken Cosgrove, International Affairs Joseph Camilleri and Jim Falk have written an incisive and vigorous book which is essential to an understanding of political ecology. They show how strongly state sovereignty is currently being assailed by the forces of economic and technical globalisation. It is also being undermined by the ecological crisis which affects the whole of the biosphere, its waters, forests, earth and atmosphe...

The Witch at Sparrow Creek
As a boy, Jim Falk watched helplessly as Old Bendy's Men dragged his father into the darkness. Now, Falk is lured by strange dreams to finish the incomplete work of his father, which was to rid the land of evil. He is hampered by his fears and addictions, but he leans on his father's former archivist, Spencer Barnhouse, to help him secure ancient secrets and weapons for the fight.

American Heat
When the world began to wake up to the global environmental crisis in the 1970s, the United States was the undisputed world leader in environmental policy. Yet, on an unsettling number of international environmental issues--including global warming--the U.S. has not only forfeited its leadership role but has too often become the major barrier to protecting the global environment. In American Heat, Donald Brown critically analyzes the U.S. response to global warming, inviting readers to examine the implicit morality of the U.S position, and ultimately to help lead the world toward an equitable sharing of the burdens and benefits of protecting the global environment. In short, Brown argues that an ethical focus on global environmental matters is the key to achieving a globally acceptable solution.

Ending the Fossil Fuel Era
A provocative call for delegitimizing fossil fuels rather than accommodating them, accompanied by case studies from Ecuador to Appalachia and from Germany to Norway.Not so long ago, people North and South had little reason to believe that wealth from oil, gas, and coal brought anything but great prosperity. But the presumption of net benefits from fossil fuels is eroding as widening circles of people rich and poor experience the downside.A positive transition to a post-fossil fuel era cannot wait for global agreement, a swap-in of renewables, a miracle technology, a carbon market, or lifestyle change. This book shows that it is now possible to take the first step toward the post-fossil fuel ...
