This exciting and educational book -- filled with eye-opening interviews, personal stories, and more than 100 pictures -- breaks down stereotypes and offers a truly firsthand taste of the richness and diversity of African culture, history, environment, and politics. Compiled by a group of young Americans of varied ethnic backgrounds who trekked the continent from Cape Town to Tangier, An African Odyssey puts readers in the center of the action, and teaches them how they can act on what they've learned in "Making a Difference" sidebars.

XIII. Cooperative Economics and Creating Community Where You Are On the three-legged stool of sustainability, less attention has been given to economics than to the more robust ecological and social dimensions. But that doesn't mean it's less important. (It's hard to keep a stool upright with only two legs.) Half the articles in this bundle are focused on what we're learning about values-based ways to make a living (which is a quality of life issue if there ever was one). The other stories are devoted to taking the inspiration of community beyond the boundary of shared property. If you figure that there are only 100,000 people in the US living in some form of self-identified intentional community, yet 100 million wanting a greater sense of community in their life, it's obvious that we should be exporting what we're learning to neighborhoods, churches, schools, and workplaces almost everywhere. Half of the 20 articles in this bundle focus on that expansive task. This Digital Issue of Cooperative Economics and Creating Community Where You Are includes: 1.
