  • Wikipedia "Ishmael" ripoff
    You may be getting a message from Amazon touting a "book" called "Ishmael (novel): Daniel Quinn, Ethics, Sustainability, Socratic dialogue, Mythology, Anthropocentrism, Trilogy, The Story of B, New tribalists" by Frederic P. Miller." We haven't seen it, but it certainly sounds like no bargain, being a 76 page book (selling for $51) that has been culled from Wikipedia files that are free online.

"There are a handful of books that are more than literature: they are polished gems of wisdom. Tales of Adam is the latest of them....Short, pithy and ageless...Quinn crafts his narrative with a diamond-cutter's care....Here is wisdom for the ages, for all ages..."--Santa Fe New Mexican

  Saving the world can only mean one thing: saving the world as a human habitat. Accomplishing this will mean (must mean) saving the world as a habitat for as many other species as possible. We can only save the world as a human habitat if we stop our catastrophic onslaught on the community of life, for we depend on that community for our very lives.
