Derrick's Books Walking on WaterReading, Writing, and RevolutionWalking on Water is a startlingly evocative examination of teaching, writing, creativity, and life. Part scathing critique of our current educational system, part hands-on method for learning how to write, part inspirational life lesson plan, Walking on Water is a book to leave you breathless (but with dry feet) on the other shore.  Walking on WaterReading, Writing, and RevolutionWalking on Water is a startlingly evocative examination of teaching, writing, creativity, and life. Part scathing critique of our current educational system, part hands-on method for learning how to write, part inspirational life lesson plan, Walking on Water is a book to leave you breathless (but with dry feet) on the other shore.  The Culture of Make BelieveWhat begins as an exploration of the lines of thought and experience that run between the massive lynchings in early twentieth-century America to today's death squads in South America soon explodes into an examination of the very heart of our civilization.  Welcome to the MachineScience, Surveillance, and the Culture of ControlDerrick Jensen and George Draffan reveal the modern culture of the machine, where corporate might makes technology right, government money feeds the greed for mad science, and absolute surveillance leads to absolute control.  Listening to the LandConversations about Nature, Culture, and ErosIn this far-ranging and heartening collection, Derrick Jensen gathers conversations with environmentalists, theologians, Native Americans, psychologists, and feminists, engaging some of our best minds in an exploration of more peaceful ways to live on Earth.  The Other Side of DarknessHere for the first time is Derrick Jensen live, recorded at one of his many standing-room-only performances.  Strangely Like WarThe Global Assault on ForestsJensen and Draffan lay bare the stark scenario we face unless rampant deforestation is slowed and stopped.  A Language Older Than WordsThis chronicle of a young man's drive to transcend domestic abuse offers a challenging look at our worldwide sense of community and how we can make things better. |
