{"product_id":"9780865718135","title":"Drinking Molotov Cocktails with Gandhi","description":"\u003cp\u003eRare indeed is the book that has a fierceness and intelligence that matches the urgency of our environmental situation, but Mark Boyle has written just such a book. It is a wildly important book, a powerful and profound book. Thank you for writing it.\u003cbr\u003e—Derrick Jensen, coauthor, \u003ci\u003eDeep Green Resistance\u003c\/i\u003e , and author, \u003ci\u003eEndgame and A Language Older than Words\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach of Mark Boyle’s books has inspired me to dive deeper into myself than ever before. With the knowledge he shares in his writing I have had no choice but to make great changes in my life to live out my beliefs. \u003ci\u003eDrinking Molotov Cocktails\u003c\/i\u003e with Gandhi was the toughest of his books to swallow, but the most necessary in realizing what must be done to live on a truly sustainable and just planet. There is no hiding from the truth after reading this book.\u003cbr\u003e—Rob Greenfield, author, \u003ci\u003eDude Making a Difference\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eViolence is so common in our culture we take it for granted; it’s background noise in our busy lives. Most alive today have not known a world not at war, nor a neighbor untouched by assault, theft or abuse. And yet, we know of cultures in antiquity that went one thousand years without war. We are not biologically different than those peoples. What are we doing differently that makes us so violent? Can we change? Mark Boyle says if we want to exchange a suicidal trajectory for something bringing us grace, harmony and joy – at peace with our planet – we need to answer that. He does, with style.\u003cbr\u003e—Albert Bates, author, \u003ci\u003eThe Post Petroleum Survival Guide and Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Biochar Solution\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are two books that have shifted my world entirely: Naomi Klein’s \u003ci\u003eThis Changes Everything\u003c\/i\u003e and Mark Boyle’s \u003ci\u003eDrinking Molotov Cocktails with Gandhi\u003c\/i\u003e – and of the two, Boyle’s is by far the most affecting. If you care about the planet, about our place on it, about the devastation that is modern western living, you have to read this book. Read it, think on it, act on it. Only by each of us doing this, can we hope to be the change we need to see in the world. It’s terrifying. But it’s the truth.\u003cbr\u003e—Manda Scott, author, \u003ci\u003eBoudica and Rome\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMark Boyle’s book throws down the gauntlet at the feet of the world as we know it. His challenge to the complicity of all of us – even those of us who work for change and against injustice – in a system that is destroying the planet and most of its species will trouble many. So too will his endorsement of violent methods of resistance alongside the more accepted nonviolent ones. But he asks questions that need answering at every turn – and his call for the climate change generation to replace “reduce, reuse, recycle” with “resist, revolt, rewild” strikes a nerve.\u003cbr\u003e—Chris Brazier, New Internationalist\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a time of quiescence and fossilised orthodoxies, what we need most is honesty about the human predicament. In this thought-provoking book, Mark Boyle challenges us to explore the dark corners we’d all rather look away from.\u003cbr\u003e—Paul Kingsnorth, author, \u003ci\u003eThe Wake \u003c\/i\u003e and cofounder, Dark Mountain Project\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMark’s new work lays bare and dissects the violence that lies behind the comforts of our industrialized society. He asks some very hard questions of the environmental and social change movements, which we will all need to address if we are to create true social justice and restore the wider web of life.\u003cbr\u003e—Graham Burnett, author, \u003ci\u003ePermaculture: A Beginners Guide \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Vegan Book of Permaculture\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Society Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47018736058608,"sku":"9780865718135","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780865718135_p0.jpg?v=1763847036","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780865718135","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
