Hanh is the Buddhist monk who Martin Luther King, Jr. said should receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

Wonderful book of heroic women all over the world, like Emma Bonino of Italy who says, "However the tools may change, the basic idea is always the same: to take responsibility, to communicate what you are doing, to speak the truth."

I love when this magazine arrives in my mailbox. Great layout, great articles from a multitude of sources. It covers spirituality, politics, culture and much else in fun, informative, and hopeful ways.

There's a resurgence of indigenous spiritual knowledge taking place. This excellent magazine is a wonderful guide into the practices, the cultures and the people of ancient ways of exploring the divine.

Zeitgeist Films has all sorts of interesting DVDs, "The Corporation" is a must-see. Featuring thinkers as diverse as Milton Friedman and Noam Chomsky, the Wall Street Journal calls it, "A fast-moving collage, an ironic surreal visual riff."

This film is about much more than the way poor food choices are marketed to the American people. It is about immigration, worker exploitation, cultural homogenization and much else.

Thom Hartmann is a sort of renaissance man. An author, a radio host, a historian, a therapist, and a business man - on top of being a really nice guy. Any of his books are worth reading, and his radio show is fantastic.

A little known treasure of a DVD. Author Naomi Klein describes it as, "A powerful, radical cry from the frontlines of the war on people. This film captures the spirit of resistance: it is as beautiful and global as humanity itself."

Featuring many international energy investors and former CIA director James Woolsey, this movie takes a close look at the transition we need to make out of the fossil fuel based economy. See also crudeimpact.com

Some of the migrants I know here in Colorado are from Guatemala. This DVD tells the story of the heart-breaking war that recently took place in their country. A holocaust of the Mayan people that we hardly heard a thing about. This award-winning documentary tells the story of unspeakable oppression, and awe-inspiring resilience.

I wish this magazine was offered in the checkout lines of the big grocery stores. At least, it is offered in the checkout lines of some of those organic food stores like Wild Oats, providing people with ideas for a "just and sustainable society."

I just can't say enough about the beauty and wisdom contained in this book. I'd recommend all of the titles offered by Danielle and Olivier Follmi.

There is so much fantastic world music I need to discover. The Putumayo label is doing a good job of introducing us to the sounds and cultures of other parts of our planet.

Vandana Shiva is one of those heroes that most people don't even know exists. She has been battling for democracy for years, and is fearless in her challenges to the tyrannies of agribusiness, chemical industries, and other corporate executives that are working to impose markets on the people of the world.

Fascinating biography of the person who was recently chosen as the most influential intellectual in the world, in a poll by Britain's "Prospect" magazine.
