[p2p-research] thinking about leapfrogging

Sun Oct 5 11:59:02 CEST 2008

I've a distinct memory of already replying to this, but maybe it never go
through...

I just mentioned 3 Schumacher briefings

(all of the briefings are very good, but the 3 below are the most relevant
out of the ones I've read, for details of the rest see
http://greenbooks.co.uk/store/index.php?cPath=33&osCsid=i0r0rik79oaaidon9nfv8m6ii4and
http://www.schumacher.org.uk/schumacher_briefings.htm )

Ecovillages: New Frontiers for Sustainability by Jonathan Dawson
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ecovillages-Frontiers-Sustainability-Schumacher-Briefing/dp/1903998778

Gaian Democracies: Redefining Globalisation and People Power by John Jopling
and Roy Madron
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gaian-Democracies-Schumacher-Briefing-Madron/dp/190399828X/

Bioregional Solutions: For Living on One Planet by Pooran Desai and Sue
Riddlestone
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bioregional-Solutions-Living-Schumacher-Briefing/dp/1903998077/

I thought all 3 of the above were excellent and throughly recommend them.

That's all I can think of for now that Kevin hasn't already mentioned :)

Acutally I guess there is Richard Douwthaite's Short Circuit too
http://www.feasta.org/documents/shortcircuit/contents.html

The Feasta Reviews also have some good articles in:
http://www.feasta.org/documents/feastareview/index.htm
http://www.feasta.org/documents/review2/index.htm

All of the above 3 are available online in their entirity :)

Happy reading!

Josef.
