Blessed Unrest: How the Largest Social Movement in History Is Restoring Grace, Justice, and Beauty to the World Paperback - 2008

by Paul Hawken

One of the world's most influential environmentalists--the author of "Natural Capitalism"--reveals a worldwide grassroots movement of hope and humanity to defend life on Earth.


Summary

The New York Times bestselling examination of the worldwide movement for social and environmental change

Paul Hawken has spent more than a decade researching organizations dedicated to restoring the environment and fostering social justice. From billion-dollar nonprofits to single-person dot.causes, these groups collectively comprise the largest movement on earth, a movement that has no name, leader, or location and that has gone largely ignored by politicians and the media.

Blessed Unrest explores the diversity of the movement, its brilliant ideas, innovative strategies, and centuries of hidden history. A culmination of Hawken?s many years of leadership in the environmental and social justice fields, it will inspire all who despair of the world?s fate, and its conclusions will surprise even those within the movement itself.
