"Frances Moore Lappe brings us yet another gift in EcoMind. She cautions us to avoid the mental traps that block our thinking. She awakens us to our immense possibilities and potentials. She invites us to release our latent energies to be the change we want to see." " Vandana Shiva

e shows how by seeing the big picture we can change it. It's a clarion call in this rising age of rising despair." John Gershman, Clinical Associate Professor, Robert F Wagner Graduate School of Pubic Service, New York University "Frances Moore Lappe has done it again. As she has done so insightfully with respect to food, hunger, and democracy, Lappe now turns her sights on the contemporary ecological crises. Her accessible and provocative analysis demonstrates how the ways many people think and talk about these crises -- especially the dominant narratives of scarcity -- obscure the inequalities of power that lie at the root of these crises and inhibit rather than inspire the kind of effective movements necessary to confront them. EcoMind is a profound example of how analysis breeds not paralysis but rather informed and inspired action, and is on track to do so in the 21st century just like Diet for a Small Planet and Food First did in the 20th. Michael Brune, Executive Director, The Sierra Club

Lapp� appears frequently as a public speaker and is a regular contributor to Huffington Post and Alternet. The recipient of the Right Livelihood Prize and the James Beard Foundation's "Humanitarian of the Year" Award, she works in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
