EARTHKEEPING NEWS A NEWSLETTER OF THE NORTH AMERICAN COALITION FOR CHRISTIANITY AND ECOLOGY Volume Fourteen, Number Five September / October 2005 Resources Eco-Justice — The Unfinished Journey edited by William Gibson. Published by State University of New York Press, Albany; 2005. If you are interested in the history of the eco-justice movement, this is a must-read book. Gibson was in it from the beginning, when he, as a newly graduated Union seminarian, landed a pastoral position with Cornell University. One thing led to another, and soon he was editing an eco-justice newsletter called The Egg. Unfinished Journey is a compilation of essays from this publication, which was issued quarterly between 1974 and 1995. In its pages, we see eco-justice move from the heady days of the early 70's when the National Environmental Policy Act, Earth Day and The Limits of Growth report by the Club of Rome were creating major headlines, to the more practical 1980's when Love Canal and Chernobyl still rippled the waters, to the quiescent 90's when environmentalism seemed to take a back seat to consumerism and "it's the economy, stupid."   Radical Simplicity: Creating An Authentic Life by Dan Price (Running Press) Radical Simplicity is a hand-lettered, illustrated book that speaks directly and elegantly to that craving we all have for an authentic life, one that we've each "hand made" for ourselves, rather than one dictated by outside circumstances.
