A Time for Choices

📖 The Scoop

In the months after 9-11, Michael Toms selected and interviewed people from a diverse range of professions and perspectives in a quest to uncover responses -- to encourage dialogue, and to present voices and views not being heard in the American mass media. The result is this collection of wisdom from more than forty leading thinkers, educators, political analysts, activists, social innovators, clergy, journalists, philosophers, and spiritual teachers. These are the voices of the fourth branch of government, the bedrock of American democracy -- the people -- speaking out and questioning American values and policy. The dialogues are grouped in nine sections that address concerns ranging from democracy, peace, and security to the spiritual dimension, and the role of the media. They include such luminaries as: Terry Tempest Williams, Paul Hawken, Howard Zinn, Susan Griffin, John Mohawk, Amy Goodman, Joanna Macy, Vicki Robin, and Thomas Moore. A Time for Choices will appeal to all seeking to understand the deeper roots of the crises facing the U.S.A. Book jacket.
