Friends, Below is the draft outline of my book in progress. Drafts of the Introduction and first two chapters have already been posted to the cyberjournal lists. Drafts of the remaining chapters will be posted to those lists and also to awpd and activ-l. You are welcome to forward this material to other lists, for non-commercial use. But please forward them in their entirety, with headers and bottom matter (signature). Posted chapters are available for review on the cyberjournal list archives (http://cyberjournal.org). Your feedback is welcomed on the outline as well as the draft chapters. I will incorporate the feedback into the second draft. I hope to have the book ready for publication by September. I am seeking a volunteer editor and cover designer. best regards, rkm ___________________________________________________________ Working Title: GLOBAL TRANSFORMATION: WHY WE NEED IT AND HOW WE CAN ACHIEVE IT Introduction ___________________________________________ Part I : OVERVIEW Chapter 1: The evolution of civilization Chapter 2: Envisioning a transformed world Chapter 3: Envisioning a transformational movement ___________________________________________ Part II : THE STORY OF AMERICA Chapter 4: 1650-1945: The rise to global dominance Chapter 5: 1945-2001: Pax Americana and collective imperialism Chapter 6: 2001- ? : The New American Century and global fascism ___________________________________________ Part III : GLOBAL TRANSFORMATION Chapter 7: The transformational imperative and the futility of reform Chapter 9: Overcoming factionalism: the power of dialog Chapter 10: Sustainable societies Chapter 11: Democracy, localism, and the dynamics of collaboration Chapter 12: The prospects for a global movement Chapter 13: Harmonization and global transformation Chapter 15: The evolution of human consciousness ___________________________________________
