Post-Growth Living
An urgent and passionate plea for a new and ecologically sustainable vision of the good life. The reality of runaway climate change is inextricably linked with the mass consumerist, capitalist society in which we live. And the cult of endless growth, and endless consumption of cheap disposable commodities isn't only destroying the world, it is damaging ourselves and our way of being. How do we stop the impending catastrophe, and how can we create a movement capable of confronting it head-on? In Post-Growth Living, philosopher Kate Soper offers an urgent plea for a new vision of the good life, one that is capable of delinking prosperity from endless growth. Instead, she calls for a renewed emphasis on the joys of being, one that is capable of collective happiness not in consumption but by creating a future that allows not only for more free time, and less conventional and more creative ways of using it, but also for more fulfilling ways of working and existing. This is an urgent and necessary intervention into debates on climate change.
In Memory of Arthur William Soper, 1838-1901 (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from In Memory of Arthur William Soper, 1838-1901 Mr. Soper was a firm believer in the efficiency of compressed air as a motive power for street railways, and his influence and his encouragement were all powerful in pushing air cars to their present state of perfedtion and in bringing them into favorable notice against the opposition of powerful competing interests. Not only in this country, but also abroad, was his ability known and appreciated, and in some of the highest industrial circles of the old world his name was honored as a man of affairs. And yet this man, with the world before him, successful, and honestly and deservedly successful, with acquaintances and interests that ...

"Greytown is no more!"
The Central American port of Greytown was destroyed by the U.S. Navy in 1854 to "avenge an insult to the American Minister to Nicaragua," according to official history. Two weeks later, the New York Tribune reported the intrigues that really doomed the port: Greytown had been a hindrance to the supremacy of a U.S.-owned steamboat company and to the colonization plans of American land speculators. Both interests used pretexts to convince the U.S. government to level the town. When an American sued for damages, he lost, resulting in a case law still cited to justify military interventions without the Congressional approval required by the Constitution. This book corrects the record regarding the causes of Greytown's destruction, and challenges the case law, based as it is on a gross misapprehension of events.
