An Earth Manifesto
Publishing Project
All of
the following essays are published on the website Earth Manifesto. This is an
organizational proposal for publishing these treatises in a bound copy in the
order indicated below.
My current intention is to have three books
published of these writings. The Earth
Manifesto has evolved to include Seven Parts, and these writings are presented
on the Home Page very roughly in the reverse order of the order in which they
were created. The writings could be
classifiable in a more meaningful way with a completely different order, so I
am going to publish them in the following collections to make them more coherent. This will categorize them very roughly in
accordance with the rambling nature of the topics they concern,
The Earth Manifesto is a wide-ranging treasure of
ideas and understandings and perspectives, and it has yet to be discovered by
anyone, despite being continuously on-line for many years. This discovery will come sooner rather than
later, I reckon, and publication could provide the needed impetus. It will also serve as a safeguard of sorts for
these vitally important ideas.
See the Home Page for descriptions of each of the
essays below, and links to their contents.
