FROM THE FOREWARD OF GAIA GOURMET: As my association with The Sanctuary at Two Rivers in Costa Rica dates to well before its actual appearance in the forest there on the beautiful Nicoya Peninsula, I find it particularly satisfying to be able to pen a few words introduce in honor of Gaia Gourmet, the cookbook that has emerged from The Sanctuary's womb. Gaia is of course a name for the Earth Goddess, our Mother Earth from whom we are born, from whose bosom we are nourished, and to whose embrace we all eventually return. Gaia Ma has made healthy sustenance available for all her children, and it is a sad commentary on our pretense at being civilized that humans are as a species so ridiculously undernourished at a cellular level at a time when we have more food available per capita than ever before in our history and a full one-third of everyone on Earth is either overweight or obese. We are now awash in cheap food solely because of Gaia-destroying, industrialized animal farms and agricultural practices whose production practices ravage our environment and poison our bodies. We have entered the sixth great extinction event in the history of our planet, the first one which is being caused solely by the malicious influences of a single species: us. Ominously for us, just as Gaia survived even the 'Great Dying' She will surely survive the ill effects of Her currently serious infestation by Homo sapiens; the real question is whether we will be able survive. If we aim to make it through the new millennium our only hope will be to return promptly to caring for ourselves and our world alike, righting imbalances both within and without before those imbalances destroy our ability to survive. Critical to reversing the damage to our environment will be huge reductions in the mass production of meat for food. The United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has stated bluntly that "the livestock sector is a major stressor on many ecosystems and on the planet as a whole. Globally it is one of the largest sources of green- house gases and one of the leading causal factors in the loss of biodiversity, while in developed and emerging countries it is perhaps the leading source of water pollution." It is moreover a highly wasteful way to generate calories for human consumption. Consuming a plant-based diet containing no or minimal animal-derived constituents is a sound investment in the health and wellness of both our inner and outer domains. Studies have shown that a vegetarian diet generally increases life-span while lowering the risk of coronary heart disease, the number one killer in the world today. Chef Naga, author of Gaia Gourmet, is a long-time vegetarian whose approach to living yogically is exemplified in his cuisine. His culinary alchemy yields outstanding meals layered with dimensions of flavor. Locally-procured organically grown produce combined with well-chosen, meticulously proportioned spices and a wide variety of protein-rich nuts, seeds and legumes results in well-rounded, nutrient-dense dishes. He focuses in his recipes on bringing vata back into balance, given that all aspects of our fast-paced, globally-connected modern reality promote vata overload. Ideally you will experience the talents of Chef Naga by visiting The Sanctuary and enjoying his creations as a lodger in one of Mama Gaia's grandest expressions of beauty and tranquility, but if that is not currently possible, this cookbook is the next best thing to having these delectable preparations served to you there.

I FINALLY KNOW WHAT FEAR IS. FEAR IS THE DESIRE TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER... THE MOMENT BEFORE THAT DESIRE COMES TRUE.
For almost 20 years Schumacher College at Dartington has been brewing up a unique potpourri of human connections, raising ecological awareness, and stimulating taste buds, and this recipe collection brings together the best dishes from the college. For many students and teachers, their stay at the college opened their eyes to how delicious vegetarian cooking can be. The cuisine at the college calls upon the best of Mediterranean, Californian, Indian, and Mexican vegetarian cooking; it celebrates old favorites rich in cheese and eggs, and offers a variety of tempting new vegan dishes using ingredients such as pulses, tofu, and tempeh. The cookbook discusses the ecological dimension of food production, together with issues concerning nutrition and special diets. "Gaia's Kitchen" offers a full repertoire of soups, main courses, salads, desserts, breads, cakes, and biscuits. Alongside family-size quantities, the book includes community-size quantities, making it invaluable for teaching centers, communities, and anyone who wants to prepare a vegetarian banquet for 30 or 40 friends.
The brilliant, beautiful, and dangerous Gaia must deal with secrets from her past being exposed, learn to be a hero again when a friend is in trouble, and decide how far she will go for revenge.
Instead of choosing the good guy, I chose the bad guy. Instead of warding off the enemy, I moved in with him. And I thought the purpose of fear was to prevent you from doing stupid things.
We have become obsessed by food: where it comes from, where to buy it, how to cook it and—most absurdly of all—how to eat it. Our televisions and newspapers are filled with celebrity chefs, latter-day priests whose authority and ambition range from the small scale (what we should have for supper) to large-scale public schemes designed to improve our communal eating habits. When did the basic human imperative to feed ourselves mutate into such a multitude of anxieties about provenance, ethics, health, lifestyle and class status? And since when did the likes of Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson gain the power to transform our kitchens and dining tables into places where we expect to be spiritually sustained? In this subtle and erudite polemic, Steven Poole argues that we're trying to fill more than just our bellies when we pick up our knives and forks, and that we might be a lot happier if we realised that sometimes we should throw away the colour supplements and open a tin of beans.

"Gaia's Garden will be recorded in history as a milestone for gardeners and landscapers. . . An amazing achievement."--Paul Stamets The classic book about ecological gardening--whatever size your garden--with over 250,000 copies sold! "A great book!"--Men's Journal Gaia’s Garden has sparked the imagination of home gardeners the world over by introducing a simple message: working with nature, not against her, results in more beautiful, abundant, and forgiving gardens. Many people mistakenly think that "ecological gardening"—which involves growing a wide range of edible and other useful plants—can take place only on a large, multiacre scale. As Hemenway demonstrates, it’s fun and easy--even for the beginner--to create a “backyard ecosystem” by assembling communities of plants that can work cooperatively and perform a variety of functions, including: Building and maintaining soil fertility and structure Catching and conserving water in the landscape Providing a rewilded and biodiverse habitat for beneficial insects, birds, and animals Growing an edible “forest” that yields seasonal fruits, nuts, and other foods This revised and updated edition also features a chapter on urban permaculture, designed especially for people in cities and suburbs who have very limited growing space. Whatever size yard or garden you have to work with, you can apply basic permaculture principles to make it more diverse, more natural, more productive, and more beautiful. Best of all, once it’s established, an ecological garden will reduce or eliminate most of the backbreaking work that’s needed to maintain the typical lawn and garden.
Gaia’s Lost Children is a politically conservative sci-fi novel of a near-term dystopian future. In the story, the Extinction Reversal Corp. (ERC) genetically engineers and reintroduces the recently extinct moas, woolly mammoths, and passenger pigeons species to the Earth’s environment. Unfortunately, these reintroductions unsettle the Global Union (GU), a carefully balanced, all-encompassing world government. In reaction, the members of the ERC are banished to a huge space habitat located equal distance from the Earth and Moon. A later attempt at further punishment leads the space exiles to rebel. The novel follows two childhood friends, Peter Tanaka and Ivar Hardford, as they try to navigate the turmoil in the GU. Peter joins the ERC and becomes a leader of the space exiles. Ivar establishes himself as the head of a mercenary band used as off-the-books government enforcers. Peter and Ivar end as mortal enemies on opposite sides of the space rebellion.
