DAVID FREEMAN, 81, has spent his professional life at the forefront of energy policy. In WINNING OUR ENERGY INDEPENDENCE, he explains how the sun, wind, biomass, geothermal, and hydrogen resources we have right now can be the fuels that solve energy issues and create a sustainable future for our planet. We have the renewable resources we need-now we simply need the awareness, passion, and drive from the people to make sure our politicians and business leaders respond. WINNING OUR ENERGY INDEPENDENCE provides action plans for showing us how to influence change.

Also ANTHONY LAPPÉ
Executive Editor, GUERILLA NEWS NETWORK
Co-author, SHOOTING WAR (graphic novel re Iraq War)
SHOOTING WAR with illustrations by Dan Goldman, follows the gonzo adventures of a New York blogger who becomes a media darling in 2011 after his footage of a bombing at a Williamsburg Starbucks gets picked up by the mainstream media. Looking to keep coverage of the ongoing Iraq quagmire edgy, a global news network hires him to bring a youth angle to the guerrilla war. Part satire, part dystopian nightmare, SHOOTING WAR is unflinching in its depiction of the hellish future toward which the Bush administration is corralling us.
