It's not an exaggeration to say the United States of America is in danger of becoming a third world nation.  Arianna Huffington, who has her finger on the pulse of America with her must-read “Huffington Post,” unflinchingly tracks the gradual demise of America as an industrial, political, and economic leader.  Calling on the can-do attitude that is part of America's DNA, Huffington shows precisely what we need to do to stop our free fall.

Discussion will be on February 5.

Due to global warming, our familiar globe is suddenly melting, flooding and burning in ways no human has ever seen. Our hope depends, Bill McKibben argues, on scaling back — on building the kind of societies and economies that can hunker down, concentrate on essentials, and allow us to weather trouble on an unprecedented scale.

Discussion will be March 4.
