Viva La Evolución

January 14, 2010 - 8:53am — MaskedMarauder

This a novel, not a non-fiction book.  I haven't read it yet, but fell in love with the cover art and the rich subliminal intimations of the title.

MTBC: Reinventing Collapse: The Soviet Example and American Prospects

December 18, 2009 - 12:21pm — edstrom

 

This is the regular meeting of the Moving Train Bookclub, for February, 2010.

The selection this month is Dmtry Orlov's "Reinventing Collapse: The Soviet Example and American Prospects."

Mostly raised in the US, Orlov, an MIT engineer, traveled back and forth between the US and the Soviet Union for extended stays as the USSR collapsed at the end of the 20th century.  Its his opinion that the US will collapse eventually for many of the same reasons.  He uses his knowledge and personal experiences of the similarities and differences between the two super powers to describe what we can expect and how the differences between our cultures and economies may play out differently.

Moving Train Bookclub TAKE TWO: The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism

November 24, 2009 - 11:21am — edstrom

 

This is the regular meeting of the Moving Train Bookclub.  Believe it or not!!!

It is also the semi-regular change of venue for Newport's own non-fiction peripatetic progressive book club. We will be returning to the Canyonway Bookstore/Restaurant Centro de Ayuda yet again.

The selection this month, really!, is Naomi Klein's "The Shock Doctrine," the touching story of a homely military-industrial complex and the global superpower that loves it.

I appologize for getting the book and place wrong last time.  I don't know what came over me.
